Hive Open Mic Week 189 - Hukum Rimba (Cover Song) by IndonesiaBersatu
Hello, Hive Open Mic brothers and sisters who remain in good spirits. Greetings and blessings to all. We are a Punk Rock band from Medan, Indonesia. We are back to participate in the weekly #OpenMic music event which has entered its 189th week with the theme "My Perception", which was chosen by a beautiful singer in this community, @gemafreya1234. For me, this is an interesting theme.
From this theme, we performed a song called "Hukum Rimba", which means "Law of The Jungle". This is a song by Jakarta-based punk rock band, Marjinal. The song was released in 2001 on the album "Termarjinalkan". Until now, the song entitled "Hukum Rimba" is often covered by artists in Indonesia. The song was written by Mike, who was originally just a guitarist, and now Mike is the vocalist plus guitarist in the band Marjinal.
Hukum Rimba or Law of the Jungle, is a law that states whoever wins or is strong, is the one who rules. In my perception, this song describes the situation in Indonesia today. Many legal gaps can be seen in Indonesia. For example, corruptors who take billions of people's money get lighter sentences than rice thieves who only steal a kilogram. Even the guilty can go free and the innocent become suspects. Why is that? That's the Law of the Jungle. When you have a lot of money, you can pay lawyers, judges and prosecutors to rule in your favour. Money is the source of power nowadays. The more money we have, the easier it is to control anything.
Indonesian Lyrics
Hukum adalah lembah hitam
Tak mencerminkan keadilan
Pengacara juri hakim jaksa
Masih ternilai dengan angka, uang
Hukum telah dikuasai
Oleh orang orang ber-uang
Hukum adalah permainan
Tuk menjaga kekuasaan
Maling-maling kecil dihakimi
Maling-maling besar dilindungi
Maling-maling kecil dihakimi
Maling-maling besar dilindungi
Hukum adalah komoditas
Barangnya para tersangka
Ada uang kau kan dimenangkan
Tak ada uang you say good bye, beibeh
Di manakah adanya keadilan
Bila masih memandang golongan
Yang kuat selalu berkuasa
Yang lemah pasti merana
Thank you so much for watching and listening to the cover song we performed for our participation in the weekly Hive Open Mic Week 189 event. I hope you all enjoyed it. In making this music video, we recorded it live using a cell phone camera. Then I edited the recorded audio using Adobe Audition software, then I used Capcut to combine the video and audio. We are very grateful to @putradaffa who was willing to record our video. Thank you very much and best regards.
you are amazing together
beautiful scene to see and very beautiful language
I was fascinated watching you do magic, thank you very much!
@indonesiabersatu
Thank you very much sir
Good music and a good reference in order to explore Indonesian rock bands, where they denounce the social criticism and methods of corruption of their current government
The Money King and his power :(

Thank you very much sir. Rock, punk and metal music is music that is synonymous with criticism and rebellion against social and political situations. greetings from Indonesia.
Yeah, of course lml ! the rock, metal and punk:
It is content of protest and denunciation, art without it is just a
pamphlet
🤟🤟🤟
I already saw the band's material, very good
They are a cool and bold punk band
Where can I listen to more of your material, do you have any eps, demos, albums?

Dont Worry, global brother rock and metal
Thank you!

Reading your post and the meaning of the song, I can clearly understand, it is sad and regrettable because here in Latin America there is also a lot of corruption where the one who has a lot of money is the one who wins and many innocent people suffer.... This happens all over the world...
You have made an excellent interpretation, I congratulate you, I loved it! 💙💯💐
Sad But True. x.x
Yes Mrs. Corruption and injustice often occur because of an imbalance of power and resources. People who have a lot of money or power tend to have more access to resources and opportunities, which can make it easier for them to manipulate the system to their own advantage
Good work guys 👍👏
Thank you very much sir
