JAKARTA - The talented young soloist Aufa Kantadiredja succeeded in presenting a different appearance as well as being the final in the Gigs Kamisan event through a slick musical arrangement and harmonization when performing the numbers of the mainstay singles.

Armed with a number of singles, namely "Brand New Age", "Time Will Tell", "Kemilau", "Other Times", "And Love Today", and "Your Beautiful Mind", Aufa performed sweetly and harmoniously with a full band set for 30 minutes after the gahar action of a number of other performers previously.

"Good night. Thank you for waiting until the end of this event to witness my performance and the band. I always like to appear in this kind of gig because it gives a different feel as well as introduces the music I bring to new friends," said Aufa in the midst of his appearance at Nene Moyang Bar n Resto Jakarta, Thursday night, quoted from Antara.

In his black appearance that night, Aufa and the band opened the action through the song "Brand New Age" which was quite special because the song with an energetic character with a new wave complete with a thick sound synth of the 80s had not yet been launched to the public.

"This song hasn't been released yet, but it's special for us to bring it because I think it's quite appropriate to play tonight. Likewise with the next song, both have not been released and we brought it specifically for tonight," explained Aufa before singing the number "Time Will Tell" which had a medium tempo.

Not only performing his own songs, the 23-year-old soloist also played a cover belonging to the band The Police, namely "Everyone Breath Your Take".

Aufa even passed the audience's request to play additional songs outside the prepared list.

"An additional song? Okay, but promise, after this is over? OK, we will perform an extra song tonight," said Aufa with a smile and then played the song "Don't Stop Me Now" belonging to the British supergroup Queen.

Apart from Aufa, Gigs Kamisan this time was also enlivened by performances from the bands Morenpheus, Madyouth, Raqnala, Retina, and Riza Haykel.
