JAKARTA - KOTAK is preparing to show its best abilities through a concert titled Konser Dua Decade KOTAK which will be held at the GBK Basketball Hall Senayan, Central Jakarta on Saturday, November 23.

The concert, which was held by Northstar Entertainment as promoter and Megapro Communications as an event organizer, became a celebration of Tantri (vocals), Cella (guitar), and Chua (bass) in commemorating the 20th anniversary of KOTAK's journey in the national music industry.

Tantri said the preparations made by KOTAK had entered the final stage. Each personnel carries out their respective duties to prepare for a special show.

"I don't know why I feel different enthusiasm at this concert. If you ask me where the preparations have come, it's just a matter of finishing," said Tantri during a press conference in Thamrin, Central Jakarta, Monday, November 11.

This concert is not only a sign that the band is 20 years old, but also more as a manifestation of its gratitude for the support of many parties, especially KOTAK Relatives, who have been loyal to accompany our journey so far. So, we will give our best and various surprises at the concert later," he continued.

Cella, who is tasked with preparing performances in terms of music and arrangement, added that KOTAK will appear different from other stages that have been visited. They will perform about 24 songs in a two-hour show.

"Here we will bring songs that are rare or we have never even performed on stage. In terms of arrangement, we have also prepared a new arrangement that we have never done before," said Cella.

The TWO KOTAK Decade Concerts will also present several collaborators, including Sara Wijayanto, Marcello Tahitoe alias Ello, Yacko, and Sean Siburian, children from Pay Burman.

"And it's special again, we invited his son Mas Pay Burman, Sean. If it's with his father, we've collaborated, now we're bringing his son," said Tantri.

"So, last time we played at Mas Pay's house, we saw Sean was already good at playing the guitar, so we invited him to play at the concert later," he continued.

Meanwhile, Richard Paulana representing Northstar Entertainment, admitted that he was honored to be collaborating with KOTAK and his fans to hold a concert which has been KOTAK's track record since birth and has continued to exist on the Indonesian music stage until now.
