Title: Hijab-Wearing Heavy Metal Trio Voice of Baceprot Rocks Indonesia and Beyond
In a powerful display of defiance and empowerment, the hijab-wearing heavy metal trio Voice of Baceprot has been making waves in Indonesia and beyond with their progressive music and bold message.
During a recent performance in Jakarta, the band’s lead singer, Firda Kurnia, known as Marsya, belted out lyrics that resonated with the crowd, declaring, “Our body is not public property!” The band’s hit songs, such as “(Not) Public Property” and “PMS,” tackle themes of female empowerment and freedom.
Despite facing criticism and bullying, Voice of Baceprot has continued to push boundaries and challenge stereotypes. The band members, all practicing Muslims in their early 20s, have become role models for young women in Indonesia, shattering expectations of what it means to be a Muslim woman in a conservative society.
Their journey from being troublemakers in an Islamic school to becoming international heavy metal sensations is a testament to their resilience and determination. The band’s manager, Wendi Putranto, praised their bravery in playing heavy metal music as hijab-wearing Muslim women, saying, “So what?”
Voice of Baceprot’s music has not only captivated audiences in Indonesia but has also garnered attention overseas. With performances in the United States, France, and the Netherlands, the band is gaining a global following and challenging perceptions of what it means to be a Muslim woman in the heavy metal scene.
As they continue to write and perform music that focuses on female empowerment and environmental preservation, Voice of Baceprot remains committed to using their platform to inspire and uplift others. Their message of empowerment and freedom resonates with fans around the world, making them a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
