The event will take place at the Rumah Musik Harry Roesli (RMHR), Bandung, West Java.

Harry's widow Kania, his close friend Aat Soeratin and his bandmate Hari Pochang are among speakers to be featured in the discussion, which has been organized in conjunction with the release of the Opera Ken Arok vinyl edition.

 Forty-one years after its initial release, Opera Ken Arok is being released on vinyl, following the completion of remastering work commissioned by Jakarta-based indie label La Munai Records.

The album, which was released in cassette format in 1977, was considered by many to be one of the best progressive rock records ever released in the country. The album is also known for its biting commentary on the nascent authoritarianism of Soeharto's New Order regime.

A play that would form the basis of the recorded work of the same name was banned by the regime in 1976.

Opera Ken Arok ranked number seven on the list of 150 best Indonesian albums compiled by the now-defunct Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine.

For the vinyl reissue project, La Munai Records enlisted London-based audio mastering firm Carvey Cuts to improve the sound of Opera Ken Arok and pressed 333 vinyl copies of the record for the Indonesian market.

Opera Ken Arok was the second of Harry's Trilogy, which also consists of Philosophy Gang and Titik Api (Burning Point). La Munai released the vinyl version of Philosophy Gang last year.

Harry Roesli died in 2004 from cardiac arrest.
