Girls play heavy metal in Muslim hijabs? (video)


(Great Big Story, 7/25/18) The town of Garut in Western Java, Indonesia, is a quiet place — that is, until Voice of Baceprot (VoB) takes the stage. While most Muslims in the town live tranquil, pastoral lives, teenagers Firdda, Widia, and Euis thrash out and rock hard.

The band has shot to fame for playing heavy metal in the religiously conservative country. After gaining popularity, VoB began to face criticism for performing while wearing hijabs, the modest head coverings once mandatory in the West for conservative Catholics in church and all nuns all the time. Still, VoB continues to shred — an inspiration for everyone with a little bit of music and a little bit of hardcore rebellion on their minds.
Can Muslim girls in hijabs be hot? How dare you think such a question!
