Elegi's Music Video Tomorrow Morning New Version Trending On YouTube
JAKARTA - The latest version of Elegia Eleg Esok Pagi, which was brought back by Ebiet G Ade with his two sons, Adera and Segara, has succeeded in attracting the attention of Indonesian music lovers.
Three days after its release, this song managed to occupy the #4 position on YouTube's trending music. This achievement proves that Ebiet G Ade's work is loved across generations.
Meanwhile, the music video also strengthens song messages, with a touching story about a family having to temporarily separate from work demands. But in the end they were able to get back together.
Ebiet's collaboration with his two children also involved David and Lukman from NOAH in working on his music, to create more meaningful and emotional harmony.
With the new arrangement, this song is revived without eliminating the essence of warmth and emotional depth which are its characteristics.
Production of the song received a richer touch musically, but still maintains the atmosphere of the shahdu from the original version. This is done with great care, in order to respect original works as well as provide a new feel that is relevant to today's listeners.
For Ebiet, this project is more than just a re-record, but a form of music heritage that he wants to forward to the next generation.
This song has a special place in my heart. You can bring it back with Adera, Segara, David, and Lukman to give a deeper meaning," said Ebiet in his statement, Sunday, February 16.
Adera and Segara, who have had their respective music careers, are clearly honored to be involved in this project, considering that Ebiet is not just a father figure, but has also been their inspiration in music.
