JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) commented on the action of the Minister of PUPR who immediately played drums with the Chocolate Band during the inauguration of the Indonesia Arena or Indoor Multifunction Stadium (IMS) at GBK, Jakarta, on Monday, August 7.

Jokowi said that Basuki's drum game was still inferior to the drummer Led Zeppelin, John Bonham.

"Aah, still lost to John Bonham," Jokowi joked while laughing at the Indonesia Arena, Jakarta, quoted Tuesday, August 8.

PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono is known to suddenly become a Chocolate drummer during the inauguration of the Indonesia Arena in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, Jakarta. Initially, the vocalist of Chocolate, Kikan, said that someone would join them on stage.

Apparently, that person was Basuki. Minister Basuki who sat with President Jokowi then stood up. The Minister of PUPR seemed to bend over as a sign of asking Jokowi for permission.

Basuki then walked to the stage to join the Indonesian rock band. Before starting to play, Basuki seemed to change the position of his hat to the back.

At that time, Kikan was seen talking with Basuki to determine what song he would perform in front of hundreds of viewers.

Instantly, Kikan also revealed the results of his conversation with Basuki. "Of the many songs of Chocolate, Pak Basuki chose the song 'Luka Lama'," said Kikan.

Minister Basuki immediately acted to play the song 'Luka Lama' with Chocolate. Basuki seemed to be good at playing drums.

Jokowi, who sat with the other ministers, seemed to smile occasionally to see Basuki's action. Not only that, Jokowi also applauded seeing the drum game of his minister.
