JAKARTA - Legendary Musicians Aksan Sjuman and Indra Lesmana collaborated with well-known artist Raul Renanda again to feature Indonesian music anthology at The Apurva Kempinski, Bali, Badung Regency, Friday night to continue the 'Powerful Indonesia 2023' campaign.

After successfully holding a music performance in March, Aksan Sumaman, Indra Lesmana and well-known artist Raul Renanda were again present at the Anthology of Indonesian Music volume II at L'Atelier by Cyril Congo, the iconic Bar at The Apurva Kempinski Bali. Before starting the appearance, the three legendary figures provided information regarding the purpose of the Indonesian Music Anthology music performance and told about Indonesian music first and now. "Indonesian music has gone through an extraordinary phase that is sometimes forgotten because of a weakness, namely documentation. It is interesting if there is a book that I think is one that answers that Indonesia needs such documentation," said Indra Lesmana, quoted from ANTARA, Saturday, April 299. He said that Indonesian songs performed in the show have a cap, a perspective that is not easily bounded by time. That is why, in appearances at Apurva Kempinski Bali, Badung, Friday, the musician and the artist appeared with one goal to revive Indonesian artwork.

Especially in the field of music from two series of Indonesian music anthology books, namely the first series entitled Indonesian Classical Music Anthology: Vocal and Howal Seriosa, which was compiled in 2013 and the second series entitled Indonesian Music Anthology: Jazz Music and Popular Music, which was compiled in 2017. Under the umbrella of the Jakarta Arts Council, Indonesian Music Anthology brought together influential musicians in Indonesia namely Aksan Suman, Anto Hoed, Anusirwan, Otto Sidharta, Aisyah Sudiarsso Pletscher, Anursiwan, and Budi Utomo Prabowo. In that case, they classified the development of music in Indonesia and summarized it into a historic Indonesian music collection book. According to all three, the two music books were able to provide a fairly complete narrative and perspective about Indonesian music and were expected to be a source of inspiration from musical development in Indonesia. "Every song that was performed we had an inside story like September Celebration. The song had a story at its time played. I think it's great to re-tell to remember how Indonesia was actually in that era," said Aksan Sumaman. Indra Lesmana, who was next to Aksan replied that to create works that can be enjoyed by music connoisseurs of all times, Gustu Brahmanta sang drummer, Ucok the bassist, and Truedy, an artist who regularly appeared at The Apurva Kempinski Bali.

Nesia also managed to get the attention of the audience after singing songs like Becak, saying 'You Come, Under the Cambodian Tree and September Cheerful'. Meanwhile, Director of Marketing The Apurva Kempinski Bali Danti Yuliandari said the event was part of the acceleration to continue the celebration of Indonesian Music Anthology.

"So today is the Indonesian music anthology volume II. This is a continuous series from launching last month. Actually, the concept of this anthology is to introduce more about what the contents of the Indonesian music book made by famous Indonesian musicians," he said. He said that every Saturday from 16:00-18:00, hotel guests can watch special music performances at the resort lobby, where musician Truedy, an Indonesian artist who has regularly performed at the hotel will perform every song from the book Antology of Indonesian Music.
