Genjer-Genjer is an Osing language folk song from East Java, Indonesia, written and composed by musician Muhammad Arief. The song was written as a description of the condition of the people of Banyuwangi during the Japanese occupation period. The song focuses on the struggle of the peasants, who were forced to eat the genjer plant (Limnocharis flava) – a plant initially considered a pest – to survive. During the New Order regime, it was falsified by the Indonesian government to make it look like it was a song of the Indonesian left documenting their brutalities.
