After they previously put out several videos of Kolaborasoe Rockumentary, the pop punk band based in Yogyakarta known as Endank Soekamti recently updated their official YouTube channel not with just one new video diary but two videos, part of the behind the scene story of their upcoming seventh album. These videos, as usual, are created by their very own Euforia Audiovisual and is located at secluded area called Gili Sudak Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the place, it is part of 280 small islands in Gili Lombok and part of the Southwestern island of Lombok. The island is decorated with soft fine white sand beaches and is endowed with a charming stretch of beautiful coral, where ornamental fish, starfish, spores, and other marine life gathered. The travel time to get to Gili Sudak from one local port of Batu Kijuk and Tawun is about 15 minutes only. Basically it is a perfect place to record your musical journey and have fun with your best friend. As for the official video diary by Endank Soekamti, it will last for the next thirty days and is displayed when breaking the fast. For more information about their seventh album and this entire trip to Gili Sudan by Endank Soekamti, feel free to follow their official Instagram account.
West Nusa Tenggara or Nusa Tenggara Barat in Bahasa is a province of Indonesia. It comprises the western portion of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the exception of Bali which is its own province. Mataram, on Lombok, is the capital and largest city of the province. The 2010 census recorded the population at 4.496.855. The latest estimate for January 2014 is 4.702.389. The area for the province is 19.708.79 km2. The two largest islands in the province are Lombok in the west and the larger Sumbawa island in the east. In 1938, the Neo Municipality was formed, a self regulated area. Based on the Lombok government constitution, East Indonesia Presidents’ decision on 9 May 1949 No.5/Prv/49, Lombok did not contain a municipality but was an area conducted by Dutch Government. Formerly known as Sunda Kecil or Lesser Sunda, the West Nusa Tenggara Province was formed from part of the former State of East Indonesia in 1951. In 1957, the regional government was established. The Indonesian Government is currently considering the division of Nusu Tenggara Barat Province to create a separate Sumbawa Island province. There is no information as to whether the remaining part of the present province (i.e. the districts comprising Lombok Island) would then be renamed.
