"MALIQ & D'ESSENTIAL" the greatest soul band , in Indonesian Music Industry.

Maliq & D’essesntials one of the greatest Band in Indonesia that their music is Fun, Cool, Chill, Relaxing, Fungky and Sexy. Their music always gave me this chilling sensation and make me calm every time I got pissed. One day I went to La’Bridge In Ancol ( is an Outdoor café where stand on the top of the sea) have a beer (or a coffee also work) and chilling with friends, when they put Maliq on with the breeze of the wind follow by sound of the water and a yellow colour of the sky with half of the sun light up the sea. And suddenly! I feel that Life is soo Beautiful, Such a Perfect Moment.

Maliq & D’essential has a lot of influence for many great musician in Indonesian Music Industry, their started their carreer on 15 of mei 2002 which have 8 people in it an make music which called SOULFUL. The name of maliq is a short from music and live instrument quality which the concept come from Angga (vocal) and Widi (producer, composer, arranger, & song writer) what a kind of person right! The name of the essentials also resembles of each member Indah & Dimi (vocal), Satrio (gitar), Ifa (piano), Jawa (bass) also Amar (saxophone). In the early of their career they were only a band who perform in a café and lounge like Jamz, Mana Lounge, The Bar Four Season Hotel, etc. They showcase has propose to hear songs like black music specially Soul Music.

Then it happen to them in the year 2004 Maliq’ has joined with a Recold album Company and releasing the album in the early 2004 with the first single ”Terdiam” dan second single “untitled” release in the early 2006 with new album “Repackaged” with the special edition an a new hit single”The One”. At the same time one of their vocalist “Dimi” has resigned, so she could concentrate on her solo album.

In 2007 their continue their journey with all new album “Free Your Mind” (which is totally great album) with their new hits single “Dia” and “Free Ur Mind” as my favorite single. And since then their were a lot busier and were asked to make a soundtrack movie at 2008 ( forgot the movie title). But then again one of their team has resigned “Satrio” resigned an then later exchange by “LaLe”. Maliq & D’essentials will go on and making more music and hopefully on their next album will be the one waiting for coz of their 6 year journey experience will make them more mature on music and more creative. Looking forwards guys!!
