JAKARTA Twenty years running, the band Maliq & D Essentials shows its existence by releasing new songs.

According to Widi Puradiredja (drums), there are two important things that keep them solid and consistent for 20 years, although they have changed formation several times.

"One of the most important things is that we must always maintain the quality ourselves," said Widi in Thamrin, Central Jakarta, last week.

"Consistent and committed to our brand. That quality cannot be secondary," he continued.

These two things became the basis for Maliq in music. It was also implemented when releasing the latest song entitled 'Aduh'.

Maliq & D'Essentials also said that they had performed their new song in front of Coldplay, when they met in a closed meeting in Jakarta on November 14.

"When we wanted to play, I said 'This is our new song, the title is oh'. He (Chris Martin) doesn't understand what 'Oh, what's that. He's 'yes, yes'," said Indah (vocals)

Although she did not understand the lyrics of the song, Indah said that Chris Martin was so enthusiastic about listening to the music they performed.

"As soon as we finished singing, he was still repeating (humming) 'Oh.' Oh, he's stuck, even though he doesn't know what it is," concluded Indah.

For information, Maliq & D Essentials appeared as a surprise guest during the Coldplay concert at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Central Jakarta on November 15.

Pada penampilan tersebut, Angga cs tampil membawakan sebuah lagu berjudul Senja Teduh Pelita.
