Aurelia Octaviani and Muhammad Istiqamah Djamad make music that caught fire across Indonesia.
For a sense of their sound, start with "Balela" and then try "Paz e Bem."
Padu's debut single "Balela" went viral in 2018, topping charts in Indonesia and neighboring countries. The song's catchy melody and relatable lyrics connected with listeners across different age groups, even as some critics questioned its originality. Their catalog includes tracks like "Paz e Bem" and "Barquinhos de Papel" that show their continued output since that breakthrough.
The duo formed in 2016 when Aurelia and Istiqamah met at a music festival. After "Balela" took off, they released several other songs including "Menepi," "Berlalu," "Merindu," and "Mendua."
