In busy weeks like Wednesday, most of bars would probably do business as usual. But not at the Misbar, a nice little bar (on the upper floor of “Warung Apa?”) to be found at the corner of the X-Splash district - Kemang, Jakarta, Indonesia. That is where the “Dance to the World Beat - II” was held during the Wednesday night, October 26^th, 2011.

After an intense weather—heavy rain and strong winds—that had swept all over the city during the afternoon, this monthly “offline” session organized by Listen to the World was finally set and kicked off at 8 PM. Friends and families were gathered and dance to the various of roots music from DJ Ojon Kusuma’s selection and live performances by Tri’ie Yuniharto (cajon), Reza Malik (electric guitar) and Lukito Hartawan (acoustic guitar), and the striking photographs of “the world we live in” were compiled and projected in the big screen to circle the space and making it fit to the whole atmosphere.

“Dance to the World Beat” is one of the programs within the circuit of Listen to the World Offline Series which held every month since January 2010. Now, after months of intense forum discussions and workshops, not to mention the cacophony of corporate life during the weekdays, it is time to give ourselves a good, fun, and memorable night like this party had delivered. Just dance to the world beat!
