From the fertile crosscurrents of Amsterdam’s ever-evolving underground music scene emerges Naga Kirana – an Indo synth-folk-pop collective, drawing on Indonesian musical lineages while exploring electronic and synthesizer-based forms and propulsive grooves. The band features charismatic vocalist Inda Duran and members of Nusantara Beat, Altın Gün, Mauskovic Dance Band and The Kik. In the past year they have appeared at Eurosonic and as an opening act for both Altın Gün and Nusantara Beat.

The "A-side" track Lumba2 (“Dolphins” in Indonesian), glides atop repetitive gamelan melodies and hypnotizing rhythms. Beneath its playful surface lies a meditation on appearances and emotional ambiguity – a reminder that joy can conceal hidden depths.

The “flip-side” Tikus Insomnia is driven by electronic drums, synths, and electric bass, the track unfolds over a housey shuffle groove that makes it hard to stay still. With its playful storytelling and restless dance rhythm, the song finds connection in an unexpected corner of the night. Sometimes, you’re not the only one awake.

Naga Kirana has developed out of ongoing conversations between musicians with Indonesian and Dutch backgrounds, drawing on personal histories, musical archives, contemporary collaborations and shared curiosity.

A key voice within the group is vocalist Inda Duran, who collaborates with Indonesian writers Adinda Adwimasari and Petani Hati, deepening her relationship with the language while developing lyrics for the band's music.

Surrounding her is a cast of musicians drawn from some of the Netherlands’ most forward-thinking groups: Rouzy Portier (Nusantara Beat) on bass guitar, Marnix Wilmink (Mauskovic Dance Band) on synthesizers and electronic percussion, Jasper Verhulst (Altın Gün) on synthesizers and electronic drums, and Kees Schaper (The Kik) on electronic drums.
