Keadilan : Qasidah music from Java (1991)

"This is a truly wonderful recording. The all-woman Nasidaria is a supergroup by Javanese standards, with 32 cassette releases under their belts. This is yet another of the great Muslim crossover sounds, with Indian and Arabic (including contempo-Cairo) influences, but also a sound totally its own. Traditional Qasidah was epic poetry accompanied by percussion and response singing. Indonesian Muslims use the form as a kind of Islamic calypso of social and topical comment, and Nasidaria added synth, guitars, and so on, along with Indian drumming, filmi touches, and all the usual wonderful stuff." (Allmusic)
