Time After Time After Time Vol. 6: Videostarr’s 3rd anniversary feat. Barakatak
Let’s celebrate the third anniversary of throwback party specialists, Videostarr, this Friday, with one of the pioneers of funkot music, Barakatak. Funkot, short for funky kota, is a mixture of dangdut and House music, which emerged in the early ‘90s. With simple lyrics and catchy Sundanese pop-infused beats, Barakatak’s earworm hits such as Musiknya Asyik and Maju Maju Maju may be stuck in one’s head for some time.
Barakatak went on a two-decade hiatus before performing again in recent years, mesmerizing both younger and older audiences. Other DJs will be performing at the party, such as Merdi and Sid the Housecat.
Friday, March 6 at Lucy in the Sky, SCBD, South Jakarta from 9pm onwards. First drink charge at IDR100K/person, table RSVP to +62 813 1986 7542.

Secret Movie Saturday: The Agnès Varda
To commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Agnès Varda, the upcoming Secret Movie Saturday screening by Jakarta Cinema Club will be all about the legendary Belgian-born French filmmaker. Varda was a director, artist, and photographer who had an important role in the development of the French New Wave film movement of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Her films mostly revolve around feminist issues and other social commentary in her distinctive experimental style.
As mentioned in the program’s title, the audience will only know the film once the lights are dimmed in the auditorium. Don’t miss the discussion after the screening to learn more about Varda.
