Voici des images du concert d'Iwan Fals auquel nous sommes allés ce week end. Iwan Fals est un chanteur très connu en Indonésie et inutile de dire que c'était l'hystérie générale. C'était aussi un moment important pour les Acehnais car il est considéré comme très politique et Aceh retrouve enfin sa liberté politique... A un moment, un poète est monté sur scène et a lu un texte TRES politique disant des choses du style "tu manifestes tu te fais tirer dessus.. ils sont tous corrompus". Et la police à côté n'a pas bougée! C'était vraiment chouette à voir.
Aussi, normalement, la Shari'at force la séparation des sexes lors des évènements publics.. Là, il y avait bien les barrières de séparation.. mais personne ne les a utilisées! Hommes et femmes étaient ensembles, chantant et dansant, et c'était assez fort de voir les Acehnais aussi "libres"... Je vous mets un bout d'article sur les actions d'Iwan en plus des photos...Enjoy!
...And he has been a thorn in the side of those who would abuse their power. In 1984, Fals was hauled in for a song that touched a nerve with the then Suharto regime. Mbak Tini (Miss Tini) told the story of a hooker who opened up a roadside coffee stall and married a truck driver hauling dirt. Problem is, the husband's name was Suharto and the wife was short and fat, not unlike the First Lady, Ibu Tien (Mrs. Tien). Fals insists that the song was not about the former First Couple. But he is as unconvincing now as he was then. Fals was confined to his hotel for two weeks while officials drew up charges of insulting the head of state—which could have led to jail. In the end, he was never prosecuted, but from that point on, Fals was rebel, hero and star all rolled into one. Today, there is no Suharto around to needle. But Fals' reminders to legislators not to sleep through hearings, and calls to fight oppression have never been more relevant.
