World Music from Aceh,[1] also known as Bungong (lit.'Flower'),[a] is the second album by Nyawöung Aceh, released in August 2002.[2]

Background

After their first album, Nyawöung, was released in 2000, their songs became widespread, often appearing in national TV and radios as illustrative music for topics related to Aceh. In 2001, Metro TV contacted the Community of Nyawöung to create music for their programme "Aceh: Merentas Jalan Baru" (lit.'Aceh: Forging A New Path') where they offer a payment of Rp 750,000 per episode,[3] Joe agreed to this offer and they start working on making songs in mid-September 2001.[2]

In June 2001, The Community of Nyawöung (now renamed to Nyawöung Aceh) started working on five additional renditions of traditional folk songs. After picking another five songs from their collaboration with Metro TV, they compiled the ten songs into their album, World Music from Aceh, with Bungong as its main song.[2][4]
