Gerap Gurita is The Real Figure of How Folk Music Should be

Gerap Gurita is The Real Figure of How Folk Music Should be

     

This band has proven how distance will never stop their productivity in music. Their consistency is born from passion, and it is shown in how they can produce music even when not all personnel live in the same city.


Gerap Gurita, a Celtic Punk band, was formed in 2006. They have successfully integrated the traditional music of Indonesia with Celtic Punk, creating a unique sound that was born out of courage and passion.

In 2007, Gerap Gurita released their first EP titled "Bersama Kawan Di Jogjakarta". Since then, they have created 3 EPs, 3 Albums, and 5 singles, all of which were distributed through Netrilis. You can listen to all of their music on Spotify.


Gerap Gurita has gone through many ups and downs. In 2006, they attempted to record two indie soul tracks called "Bersama Lagi" and "Menang Tanpa Tikaman", which were then distributed for free. 

The Mahones and Flogging Molly have influenced Gerap Gurita's taste in music. They have gradually gained the confidence to perform their own songs on various stages. Remarkably, a compilation of Gerap Gurita's songs became part of Kampret Rec's releases in Jakarta around 2007 to 2009.

As time went by, there were personnel changes, but this never diminished their identity. This band has managed to remain active and productive to this day, thanks to its dedicated members. These talented musicians, Anom Rokhi, Indra Saptono, and Dandun Tejo, are set to take the stage until early 2024, bringing their unique sound and vibrant energy to audiences everywhere.

Gie's Inspiring Music Creation in Lazing around

Gie's Inspiring Music Creation in Lazing around

     

Well, the term “lazy” indeed can be interpreted by the forerunner to their songwriting "Sendiri Menikmatimu", "Jarak", "Cinta Kembang Api" and the other songs of Gie’s masterpieces. You can try to listen to the details in the track entitled “Kamar Malas” with the same album title.


#DidYouKnow, Gie’s genre was Jazz in their early journey. They even already had three wonderful songs, but they did not release those songs to the public. Then in 2013, they changed their direction to Blues, and it lasts until today. Gie once released EP "Kopi Blues" physically and got it bundled with kopi bubuk (coffee powder; which has a literal meaning with the album’s title). Their music is often said to have the same type as Ipang Lazuardi’s Soundtrack version, and it turns out that there is indeed a Gie song featuring Dede Kumala, the guitarist and music producer of Ipang Lazuardi. 

Gie first launched their music to the public in 2015, which was "Kopi Blues". Until 2023, Gie has released 12 songs, including Singles, EP, Album, and Versions in which some of the songs were released in CDs, and the digital version is distributed in collaboration with Netrilis. You can check the complete Discography on their Spotify Profile:

Getting back to the past time, Gie was named "Gie Generation" with the Jazz genre at first. Even though they claimed that it was not part of their history, most of their members in the earlier version of Gie were the ones we know as Gie today.

As time went by, after several personnel changes, the latest Gie squad now is Gatra Laringal, Yulius Wimar, Denny Kurniawan, Subangkit, and Anak Chakti. They are still actively performing on various gigs and producing new songs, nevertheless they live in different cities.
