Mezzaluna Calls Music Has Its Own Attractiveness For Political Campaigns

JAKARTA - The 2024 election, which just reached its peak on February 14, again left stories from musicians involved in the campaign.

Some musicians only appear as invitations to entertain the public, but not a few of them are actively campaigning for their heroes, even making special songs.

Slank is one of the bands involved in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) campaign. They made M3tal Greetings and concerts specially made for Ganjar-Mahfud.

Mezzaluna, the eldest daughter of Bimbim who is also a singer and is actively involved in the song and concert of Salam M3tal, believes that music has its own appeal when presented in a political campaign.

From what Mezzaluna saw and discussed with her father, Mezzaluna believes that the public will be more interested if the campaign is delivered through music.

"In my opinion, because he is often talked to by his father (father), people are lazy (lazy) if they only hear people's speeches. People listen to the music more, like they catch someone else's ear," said Mezzaluna in Kalibata, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 14.

Previously, Mezzaluna admitted that she was interested in writing songs that raised social and political issues. Although the song she has written so far has the theme of romance, she hopes to come with works that voice relevant issues that exist in society.

"In making music, the lyrics were probably about personal experience, so it's open to making or making songs in other ways," said Mezzaluna.

"If there are a lot of social issues, you can think about it yourself. But often it's like wanting to make a movement or change," he concluded.
