Moving, Judika Invites People With Disabilities To Perform A Duet Song Never Leave Me
JAKARTA - Singer Judika Sihotang released a song titled Never Leave Me. In this song, Judika has a duet with Nurlela, a blind person who has the ability to sing from the Social Rehabilitation Center for Persons with Disabilities (PRPSD).
Through the song Never Leave Me, Judika and Nurlela want to inspire and make this opportunity open to everyone. Judika said that Nurlela had a voice with character. Since childhood, Nurlela has a hobby of listening and singing dangdut songs, but now she is trying to sing pop songs.
According to Judika, that is what makes Nurlela's voice sound special. Since February 2021, Nurlela has participated in social rehabilitation activities for persons with disabilities developed by the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in Cimahi city, which is an effort to optimally improve the social functions of persons with disabilities and assist the process of social integration of persons with disabilities in society.
During a visit in October 2021, the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir, at PRPSD Cimahi, Nurlela showed her talent and stated that she idolized Judika.
Erick Thohir responded well to this and immediately wanted to make Nurlela's dream come true by giving a surprise meeting with her idol.
During the meeting between Judika and Nurlela at the SOE Ministry, Judika felt her heart moved and spontaneously invited Nurlela to a duet.
The invitation was enthusiastically accepted by Nurlela. According to Judika, many people with special needs are skilled and have unlimited abilities, but because of physical disabilities, these opportunities are limited.
Never Leave Me was created by Trisuaka and arranged by Tohpati. This song uses Dolby Atmos technology, which is the first time Judika has used it.
The song has a deep meaning, describing a struggle and gratitude. Never Leave Me also want to convey that we must believe that good people will be met with good people. The music video for Never Leave Me also features Erick Thohir as one of the models.
