Komainu - prosperity, success and guardianship
The challenges in Bali are painful and difficult. NOW there is the opportunity for a reset - a sustainable future with a diversified economy, not one simply dependent upon selfie-spots, swings and shallow Instagram celebrities.
This week @rickybilly50 has drawn a Komainu, the lion dog (AKA Shishi, Foo Dog) - it symbolizes prosperity, success and guardianship. Just like Barong, it will lead our path.
This week we are featuring 4 bands working towards Bali’s new future.
“Intermission” from THE DEEP SEA EXPLORERS @deepseaexplorers is a response to Bali’s water crisis. Bali's addiction to development has delivered a falling water table, salt-water intrusion, decreasing river and lake water, and land subsidence. Water quality is deteriorating rapidly and unless addressed urgently the very essence of Bali will be destroyed. Please listen to the song and support the Pasraman Air initiatives. We are playing “Intermission” on both VOLCANO and KOMODO.
You will know THE MANTAPZ @the_mantapz as a Balinese Cover Band - playing other people music in pubs. But the pandemic has set them on a NEW path! Utilizing digital media, they have built a massive international audience for their ORIGINAL music - VOLCANO is playing their latest “We're Going Nowhere”.
Another bunch of guys have harnessed the pandemic to set a bold new future. THE 13.C.A.P (AKA THE B.C.A.P) @bayakconspiracyartproject have just released “Bakti Sujati” an anthem that promotes togetherness and respect. Sung in Balinese - WE LOVE IT - catch it on VOLCANO!
Times ARE hard - but it’s gonna get better - HEARTBEAT SERENADE @heartbeatserenade are supporters of Anti-Bullying and Suicide Prevention initiatives. Just out is “Dalam Luka” (In Wounds) - if YOU are finding the going tough, reach out - and if someone else reaches out to YOU then LISTEN! …
The NEW FUTURE is actually what VOLCANO and our THREE other Bali based digital radio stations (MESIN, VILLAGE, KOMODO) are all about - surf over to our website and read the “WHY” page. Katie @katkills, Jongo @jonathangoehr, Putu @eco_bamboohouse and our whole team expect 2022 will provide a safe environment to allow us to fully fly!
In a band?
Then strut ya stuff – VOLCANO broadcasts on Satellite, Cable TV networks and digital platforms across ASIA and the WORLD. We can’t play you if we don’t know about you! Email us at info@radioseribatu.com
Every Monday @rickybilly50 paints the joint.
