Gili Trawangan (Indonesia): Hidden between parties and tourists is Mastor. A 29-year-old local man who learned to play the Gambus (traditional Lombok instrument) at the age of 15.
Today he lives and works on the island Gili Trawangan, specifically on the "Sunset side" and he shared with me three traditional songs accompanied by the Gambus which he himself built. These songs inherited them from his father and in turn his father learned them from his grandfather and his grandfather from his great-grandfather. Sometimes he uses them to make his two little children sleep.

Laran - Ganzer Lana Sasandois

... and the islanders whispers and rumors of Malang led the way to Yogyakarta. The trains, the roads and the right direction of the wind in the outskirts of the city burned my tongue with the embers
of the secret. 
Ganzer was one of that guys that has a laugh that only a genius could have and I was there, from the other shore of ecstasy...
