Behind the Song: Hunter of the Jungle – Breath of the Forest
What happens when the legend of the Predator is reimagined deep in the rainforests of Borneo — and told through music? That was the inspiration behind my latest track, Hunter of the Jungle – Breath of the Forest.
🎶 Inspiration
The story of Pemburu Rimba (The Jungle Hunter) blends two worlds: the discipline of a modern soldier and the patience of Dayak ancestral spirit. This balance became the heart of the music — a tribute to both the rainforest and the warriors who walk within it.
🎵The Creative Process
I began with the sape’, the traditional Dayak lute, letting its flowing strings evoke the sound of rivers and mist. The suling (bamboo flute) added an airy, haunting layer, while gongs and hand drums gave the song its heartbeat — the tension of the hunt.
The lyrics were built around the story’s key moments: the silence of the forest, the whispers of ancestors, and the final duel between man and the jungle’s eternal hunter.

🌿 Closing Thoughts
Hunter of the Jungle – Breath of the Forest is more than just a song — it’s a journey into Borneo’s rainforest, where music, myth, and story become one. I hope listening takes you into the mist and reminds you that the hunt never truly ends.
🎵Lyric
Title: Hunter of the Jungle - Breath of the Forest
by Raffi Rahman (Sasteria)
In the darkened woods, beneath the ancient tree,
Lintar walks on, with the spirits near to be.
Tating whispers, paints across his chest,
Patience cuts deeper than the hunter’s test.
Hunter of the jungle, your eyes are burning bright,
Here I stand before you, with my mandau held tight.
Breath of the forest, ancestors call my name,
Guiding my footsteps through the deadly game.
Plasma burning, fire through the night,
Soldiers screaming, silence is my guide.
In those eyes, between two worlds collide,
Recognition given — not just prey to hide.
Hunter of the jungle, your eyes are burning bright,
Here I stand before you, with my mandau held tight.
Breath of the forest, ancestors call my name,
Guiding my footsteps through the deadly game.
Patience… cuts deeper than rage…
Breath of the forest… writes the last page…
Hunter of the jungle, your blood runs green,
The forest bears witness, the storm has seen.
Breath of the forest, ancestors call my name,
Forever living, in Kalimantan’s flame.
