Ali is a three-piece music project from Jakarta, Indonesia. Founded by John Paul Patton and Arswandaru Cahyo, Ali combines Middle Eastern influences with elements of Indonesian 70's rock, cinematic soul, afrobeat, funk and disco to bring fresh grooves and sounds to Indonesia's contemporary music scene.
All lyrics are written in Arabic, and the band draws heavily from Middle Eastern art and music, which has been deeply rooted in Indonesian culture for centuries. The trio is made up of John Paul (drums), Arswandaru (bass/vocals) and Absar Lebeh (guitar). With their self-described style "Middle Eastern Beats with Southeast Asian Twists", Ali bring their unique fusion to stages in Indonesia and around the world - and promise a rousing experience at each of their shows.
To get you in the mood, we recommend their album "Malaka" (2023) and their latest EP "Patterns" (release date: 21.02.2025).
