The Morning Shapes the Night

The Morning Shapes the Night: A story of the Eurasians. In 2005, We performed together with the The Royal Dutch Marine Orchestra, a 60-piece orchestra, parts of "The Morning Shapes the Night," project, which explores the rich history of the Eurasians, also known as Indo-Europeans or Indische Nederlanders, in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) and later in The Netherlands, The US and beyond. At the core of the project is a unique storytelling approach, expressed through emceeing, singing, and creative storytelling. Together with CJ and Merah, we created a core team and further explored our heritage, history and sound, guiding upcoming artists and weaving together stories of pain and happiness. The narrative unfolds across centuries, beginning in the 16th century in the Dutch East Indies and navigating through time to the present day. After the album release, a highlight of the project was the live concert, where The Royal Dutch Marine Orchestra, a 60-piece orchestra, performed select compositions, translating our works into mesmerizing orchestral performances. This fusion of Hip-Hop with diverse musical styles narrated the adventurous journey of this cross-culture. One Love - Djaga
