In the press conference leading to the Soulnation Festival 2008 event, Indonesian musicians were not shy in showcasing their enthusiasm in performing in the first significant festival for the genres they love, especially since they shared the stages with international artists.

Usually, soul, rap and hip hop music are only limited to certain communities. As a result, when this festival was established, it was welcomed with opens arms. It is the first international-scale festival of its kind in Southeast Asia, it is a great tribute to the genres, and it is an opportunity which must be used to the max.

Java Festival Production (JFP) is at the moment preparing itself to hold the second edition of the festival, this time dubbed Jakarta International Java Soulnation Festival, scheduled for 30 and 31 October 2009 at Istora Senayan Jakarta. It is 6 months away!!! JFP is targeting this year's Java Soulnation Festival to be bolder in its reverberation.

In truth, JFP is not the only one undergoing preparation steps, the soul, R&B, hip hop and rap enthusiasts are already preparing to participate in resonating and enlivening Jakarta International Soulnation Festival 2009, through, not only musical performances, but also through the likes of DJ Battle, Rap Battle, B-Boy competition and many more.
