Roda Roda Soundsystem: April 2010

Who we are:

The Roda Roda crew came together after becoming inspired both by the local arts scene and the Jogjakarta bicycle culture when visiting for the South Project in October 2009.

We put together our skills and created the ultimate disco bike resplendent with speakers car battery powered amp, rainbow hued flags and flowers and multiple tunes from all over the world. We then rode our sounds ystem bike along the streets of Jogja.

We realised that there was potential to continue this neighbourly conversation and celebratory cultural exchange. Roda Roda Soundsystem are currently in Jogja and very excited to be working with the local sound, art and bicycle communities.
