Renowned Indonesian singer and composer Peni Candra Rini @penicandrarini was raised in a small fishing village in East Java, first studying voice at the age of 5 under her father, a village shadow master. She is a master of several traditional forms and is regarded as one of Indonesia’s most daring young composers, one of only a handful of female composers in the majority Muslim nation. She is a recipient of grants from the Asian Cultural Council, is a two-time grantee of the US State Department’s One Beat Program and in 2022 was named an Aga Khan Foundation laureate of the arts.
She first performed at Barbès 2 years ago, after a day after her Carnegie Hall debut with Kronos Quartet who called her “one of the world’s greatest singers”. She will present an evening of traditional and experimental music from Java, accompanied by Andy McGraw @amcgrawrva and Shahzad Ismaili @ectoderm88 🙏🏻
