Paseser’s album, with its spirit of independence and raw potential, is expected to be the foundation of Lorjhu’ exciting journey in the music world. The unique package he offers, which puts forward the idea of Nusantara locality, also seems to be starting to attract the attention of not only domestic music fans.
“During the pandemic, everything is online and independent, the appreciation becomes more global, like an online radio station in Poland playing Lorjhu’s songs,” explained Badrus.
As the pandemic period is getting closer and closer, Badrus wants to expand the scope of Lorjhu’ expression in the future.
“Lorjhu’ hasn’t had a proper stage yet, he really wants to be able to perform his songs with a full band soon. Lorjhu’ may later become a full-fledged band, or they may remain solo with band accompaniment. What is certain is that I will try to bring the experience when I was in the village first into the Lorjhu performance package,” said Badrus enthusiastically.
Paseser’s album releases on compact discs and digital data are available on record stores and music streaming platforms. To thicken the expansion of the song “Can Macanan”, demajors collaborated with Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) which is committed to advancing music from the cultural and entertainment channels by playing the song on all RRI stations throughout Indonesia.
Lorjhu’s Brief Profile
Badrus Zeman, born and raised in Sumenep, Madura, on November 26, 1990, in Prenduan Village. Art from the age of about 3 years. From liking drawing and painting in elementary school, and really liking movies, then starting to like music when he was in 5th grade, to really learning it when Tsanawiyah was in a boarding school.
Once made an instrumental duo music group with a friend at the Islamic boarding school, with the group name “Duo Gentong” which explored the barrel as an instrument. Then made a band at Madrasah Aliyah/SMA, called Sponge Rock, consisting of 4 people with vocal and guitar positions. Over time the formation changed so that the remaining 2 personnel “Badrus Vokal Drum & Ervan Guitar” changed their name to Red Lizard.
After graduating from high school, Red Lizard disbanded because Badrus had to migrate to Jakarta in 2009, studying at an art institution in Jakarta, majoring in film as his main interest in directing animation. From there Badrus also had time to make a solo project with the genre of Trihash Black Ethnic Metal called BADZEM in 2011, which was taken from his full name. The EP was successfully released on the internet containing 4 songs, 3 of which were in Madurese. However, it doesn’t get a lot of listeners.
