About Kuda Kuda

Kuda Kuda is an experimental jazz collective by Palel Atmoko, a percussionist known for his work with the Indonesian rock-activist band Navicula (where he merges dynamic rhythms with socially charged energy) and the fusion soul band SoulFood. His percussive vision anchors a shifting ensemble, ensuring each show feels alive, spontaneous, and rooted in global rhythmic sensibilities. Started from a casual jam among friends, Kuda Kuda creates a definitive sound of its own: an experimental jazz sound with a blend of broken beats and latin percussions.

On drums is Kanhaiya, who began playing at age 3 and joined Bali’s jazz scenes and the Jazz Muda Indonesia project and was part of Balawan Batuan Ethnic Fusion (led by Balawan, known for his Magic Finger Touch tapping style on double neck guitar). Bam George brings angular guitar textures, while Kristian Dharma lays down bass lines that bridge groove and exploration. Together, their interplay over Palel’s percussive core gives Kuda Kuda a signature voice—improvisational, kinetic, genre-defying.
