JAKARTA - The appearance of Sara Fajira in the song Lathi with Weird Genius has made many netizens curious about her figure. Fluent in singing English songs, Sara suddenly came up with a Javanese insert that was full of meaning but still pleasing to the ear.
Not only in Indonesia, Lathi's song is worldwide, as well as Sara Fajira's name. Many offers he received along with Weird Genius. The dream that Sara had set up since she was little seems to be getting real.
This girl from Surabaya has managed a career in the entertainment world since she was a child. The artistic blood of his parents made him believe that singing was his way of life. The girl who was born on May 3, 1996 has participated in the Little Idols Season Two event until the big 42 round.
Sara Fajira's professional career began when she took part in the Just Duet competition on NET TV in 2016. Sara started a duet with Kenny Gabriel in 2018. Then she sang the song Saved in the Heart with Eka Gustiwana. The duet together with Hedi Yunus sang the song If it was also not able to raise his name in 2019.
Likewise, the duet with Hello Maya in the same year with the Story of Two People Behind the Sunset. Because of the frequent duets, Sara got the nickname collaborator singer. "I don't think it's a problem, right. Because when I collaborate I have a new experience. I also find what song suits me," said Sara during a virtual chat with VOI, Thursday, August 26.
Sara admitted that the result of the collaboration made her ready to release a new song. "Of course I want to have my own song," he said. That desire strengthened after the success of Lathi last year.
Lathi made him widely known. Not only from the voice, Sara's courage in acting in the video clip was also praised by many that made #LathiChallange. Along with the popularity of TikTok, Sara's name immediately skyrocketed.
"What I am most proud of is being able to include Javanese elements in Lathi's songs. I want this to be my hallmark in the future. Whatever the song, I want there to be Javanese elements, whether music or lyrics, in each of my songs," he hoped.
When the invitation and concert schedule were in sight, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the route of Sara's career. Crowding is the least you can do during a pandemic. Sara chose to make her acting debut in the Black series and the film Ballad of a Crazy Lover.
Again, Sara did not want to appear normal. Having only acted twice, Sara took on a unique and different role. First, he plays a zombie. He then became a madman who lost his mind because he was raped. What makes him always try to challenge himself?
"I really like unique roles. Because I think roles like this are different and not everyone is willing to take risks for characters like this," he said.
It takes a lot of patience when Sara becomes a zombie and a madman. "This requires extra make-up, the side effects are also quite pronounced. But I live it all from the heart. Because I really like to do challenges in my life," he continued.
Sara did not expect her acting experience to be so extreme. "I didn't expect that when I got this acting fortune. After Lathi's project went into acting, I didn't expect it. I'm very passionate about acting because this is an experience I want to get and feel. I read the synopsis of the black role, and the team was solid and the team was solid. Likewise, the Ballad of a Crazy Couple it's all ok," he explained.
Collaborating with Donny Damara in the film Hitam gave him many lessons. Likewise when acting with Denny Sumargo under the tutelage of Anggy Umbara.
"They are potential playmates, because they are seniors. With good behavior, friendly, and humble, it makes me comfortable acting," he explained.
HORROR MOVIE LOVERS
It wasn't suddenly when Sara took on a horror role in her acting. Because this 25 girl really likes horror movies.
"I really like playing movies. Before the pandemic I always followed horror films. When Conjuring was shown in theaters, I always watched it," he said.
According to Sara, horror films are fun because there are characters from the director, producer, and screenplay that she can catch while watching. "The essence of horror films is like heart exercise. In terms of the story, it is also interesting. I am afraid, but I really like horror films. Maybe from there I can fight my fear," he said.
Believe it or not, Sara experiences a mystical incident while filming a black film. But the incident did not make him withdraw from filming.
"It turned out that during the past two years, I was affixed with supernatural things. And I only realized after shooting the film Hitam. Because there was someone who could know who was being followed. Thank God, because of filming Black, it was finally released," he recalls.
During the sticking, Sara admitted that she was more gloomy and sad for no reason. "I daydream every day, reflect, and make shooting sad," said Sara.
Sara was even more enthusiastic when her two roles gave her the opportunity to showcase Javanese culture. As a singer, Sara admits that she is sad because many films use Javanese songs to give the impression of horror. Some even think of him as a demon summoner.
Sara wants to get rid of the stigma that Javanese songs are always associated with the mystical. "I really want to get rid of Javanese songs that are scary and horror. Actually, the character of Javanese music is absolutely like that. It's not a demon summoner," he said.
"Lingsir Wengi's song, for example, is used in the film to summon demons. Even though the lyrics are about people who are making love," added Sara.
Because she loves Indonesian culture, Sara wants the whole world to know the rich culture of our country.
"Indonesia is very diverse, the language is various, the islands, the tribes. I was born in East Java because through music and films I don't want to lose the essence of Java. In music I want to add Javanese elements. After finding this Lathi project, what I realized, " he explained.
In addition to the Javanese elements, the consideration of the story is also Sara's choice. In Balasa A Pair of Crazy Lovers, Sara is interested because there is an anti-violence campaign against women in it.
"As a woman, even if it's just acting, I can really feel how a woman's dignity deserves to be respected, not abused. It's just acting. I'm just taking it. If I'm really being abused I don't know what to do. Hopefully it never happens in my life," she said. .
Sara admits harassment is a nightmare for women. During the rape scene, Sara admits to being at a loss for words.
"I can only cry, I can't talk, I can't express my feelings. Even though it's just acting. I can't imagine the feelings of victims of sexual harassment. That's why I feel it's important to bring this up in the film. So that it's not just women who care. Men must understand This can be traumatic," he said.
So, what are Sara Fajira's plans for the future? Will he focus on acting or continue his music career?
"In films, I still want to be productive. Develop my acting which is still lacking. I often rewatch my acting so that I know my mistakes and make corrections to develop my acting experience. I want to experience playing films on the big screen. For music, I hope to be fluent, sing, act, theatrical , all I want to try it," he said.
