Although he does lots of romantic songs, he also does many social commentary ones. It's too bad if you can't speak Indonesian, because his lyrics are excellent. With this being Volume 2, these generally are all still well known songs. It seems when he started this series, he tended to do a lot of his most famous songs early on (famous in Indonesia, that is). All these performances are unreleased, unless you count him posting them for free on YouTube. He has regularly done one song a week, playing them in solo acoustic format (sometimes with harmonica). Assuming you know all that, this is a reminder that this series is basically his version of the home concert recordings lots of musicians have done during the pandemic lockdown phase. My Volume 1 post explained more about who he is and why I'm posting his music. So if that's not your cup of tea, you should skip this. If you don't know who Iwan Fals is, beware that he's an Indonesian musician who sings all his songs in the Indonesian language. I have several more to go, so here's the next one already. A few days ago, I posted Volume 1 in this series.
