Artists Selection

Jakarta International Java Soulnation Festival

that runs annually in October for two days, Friday to Saturday, has been a huge gathering of musicians from many parts of the world. More hundreds of musicians participated at the extensively publicized event.

Music Styles

Artists performing on the 6 stages across the venue present various music styles to cater to the different taste of the large audience, creating an overall ambience including R&B, Hip Hop, Rap, pop, reggae, ethnic, electro, etc.

Collaboration

We also look for international artists who are keen in collaborating with their fellow musicians from Indonesia or other countries to forward cross-cultural understanding and cooperation in line with the festival's objective. Enriching modern tunes with ethnic touch and vice versa will continue to be a highlight of the festival.

Selection

We select artists and bands/ensembles based on various factors. We'd like to be able to present a program that is consistently entertaining, inspiring, educating, and at the same time meeting the festival key objective of fostering cross-cultural understanding and cooperation. We look at artist individual strength and uniqueness, but more importantly on how the artist can contribute/fit into the overall program and create a strong impact to the audience. Cost is another consideration and this relates to availability of sponsor (embassy/cultural center), flight expenses, fees, etc.
