Maharani

Can appear as either Maharani, Maharani Record or Maharani Records. Maharani was established in 1981 by Ricky Sadha, intended for Balinese pop music on cassette. However, in 1990, inspired by the art and beauty of traditional Balinese musical instruments such as rindik, angklung, and kecapi as well as traditional Balinese dances, the label began to release on CD and VCD. In 2002, Maharani started releasing blends of traditional and modern music, including the Balinese Spa Music, Tranquility Music, and Bali Relaxation Lounge Music albums. Important companies, both local and international, own licenses to use the the label's music, including those from Germany, U.S.A., England, Australia, France, and Japan. For distribution, Maharani works together with Disc Tarra and other local companies. And in 2008 they worked together with Around the World, located in Kuala Lumpur for distribution in Malaysia. Today, Maharani has produced more than a hundred CDs of traditional instrumental music from chill out, trance, upbeat, and down tempo.
