Rockin' Out with Indonesia's Hijabi Heavy Metal Band

The Cultural Frontline

Available for over a year

This week on The Cultural Frontline we explore the art of rock n’roll. We meet Dan Witz, the American painter trying to create art from the middle of a mosh pit. The Peruvian artist Claudia Martinez Garay takes us behind the scenes of the exhibition Songs for Sabotage, which explores symbols of iconic imagery and propaganda. The Lebanese rock star Hamed Sinno reveals why Kate Bush is one of his musical heroines and we rock out with Indonesia’s all-girl, hijab-wearing heavy metal band, Voice of Baceprot. Presented by Tina Daheley. (Picture: Indonesian band, Voice of Baceprot Picture Credit: BBC/Rebecca Henschke)
