JAKARTA - In welcoming God Bless' appearance at Everyday Festival 2023, the manager of Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) received a blacklist from the legendary rock band.

The black plate of God Bless' seventh album titled Mirror 7 which was released in January 2017 was exhibited at Graha Bhakti Budaya TIM, Jakarta on Tuesday, December 5.

"If I say (God Bless) repeats history, 50 years ago he was born here, playing here, this is playing again," said Tirtatinata Aji as CEO of SAJILive! at a press conference at TIM, Tuesday.

"It's the album Cermin 7, the seventh album is God Bless," he continued.

Aji sees the presence of the God Bless blacklist on display at Graha Bhakti TIM Culture as important. Because the album is seen as a historical object.

"The first time it was returned here. It will one day become a historic object. God Bless gave it to Jakarta to be part of history," said Aji.

"We want to take the momentum that God Bless is indeed 50 years old, it will not happen again," he continued.

For information, God Bless and Taman Ismail Marzuki cannot be separated. In this place, God Bless' name as a band was first introduced to the public.

On May 4 and 5, 1973, Achmad Albar and his initial personnel first appeared under the name God Bless, the band's name 50 years later became known as an Indonesian rock legend.

"The first time we appeared in 1973. Now it's different, now the TIM is great now. And God Bless is also different. It's amazing," said Achmad Albar.

At the 2023 Everyday Festival, Ahmad Albar cs will appear on December 26. God Bless is planned to bring about 15 of their hits.
