Mount Bromo Jazz 2023 Presents Cross Generation Musicians With Different Music Colors

JAKARTA - For the 15th time, Mount Bromo Jazz was present and greeted Indonesian music lovers. On the first day, Friday, July 21, six performers from various generations with different musical colors were presented.

Salma Salsabill appeared as the opening day for the first day of the 2023 Mount Bromo Jazz. Of the six songs performed, the 12th season Indonesian Idol champion also brought his single entitled Respecting the Word Rindu.

No wonder he sees Salma's presence as the opener this time. The reason is, he has often been considered a true music talent for Probolinggo since his appearance at Indonesian Idol.

Penampil kedua, hadir kelompok musik Deredia yang mengusung warna musik tahun 1950-an. Tidak kurang dari 11 repertoar diranjukan oleh Louise priasa Cs.

Several songs from the album Bianglala which were released last June were also performed by Deredia, including going To Tamasya, Bala-Bala, Waiting for Lovers, Song Dansa, Sendung Parting, and Night Bergelora.

Then, legendary guitarist and vocalist Mus Mujiono performed with SweetSwingNoff. He played a number of his hits such as Arts of Life and Signs.

Mus Mujiono also performed the song Beyond The Sea from George Benson. In the midst of Bromo's cold air, the 63-year-old musician's performance managed to make the audience reminisce, especially when he played his signature improvisation, a vocal script by following the guitar melody.

Mus Mujiono's appearance closed in the afternoon at Amfiteater Jiwa Jawa Bromo, where the 2023 Mount Bromo Jazz took place.

After a while of rest, the singer from the Netherlands, Henk Kraaijeveld appeared in a quintet formation, accompanied by keyboards, contrabass, drums and saxophones.

Henk Kraaijeveld seemed to enjoy the moments while playing at the 2023 Mount Bromo Jazz. On the sidelines of his appearance, he tried to communicate in a language understood by the audience present.

After appearing, Henk Kraaijeveld re-uploaded the upload of the Mount Jazz Instagram account on his Insta Story. He praised what he saw and felt during his appearance.

"Wow, what a lovedy stage, wonderful audience and great technicalians tonight at @jazzgunung," wrote Henk Kraaijeveld in his upload.

Henk Kraaijeveld became the only performer from abroad to play on the first day. Furthermore, the event continued with the appearance of Atiek CB in collaboration with the Blue Fire Project led by Bintang Indrianto.

Atiek CB looks released while performing the best songs he has sung in the 1980s to 1990s. He looked stunning to the audience like a young lady rocker.

Bringing seven repertoires, including Optimistic and Up to Boy, Atiek approached the entire corner of the arena and invited the audience to sing with him. He also did not hesitate to point a microphone directly at the audience who sang together.

Atiek CB's energetic appearance was followed by Ardhito Pramono as the closing of the first day of Mount Bromo Jazz.

In his appearance, Ardhito invited senior singer Margie Segers to a duet to perform the song Kata Hatiku.

Ardhito Pramono closed his appearance by performing Wijayakusuma, a song that was on his third album released in 2022.
