JAKARTA - Continue to follow the growing trend so that Kahitna still exists in the music industry for 38 years. So it's no wonder when the band from Bandung is known for its cross-generational fans.

Yovie Widianto said that in recent times Kahitna had a strategy to keep listeners from the younger generation. As much as possible, they did not appear in a music program that carries the theme nostalgia. Kahitna prefers to appear in music shows that carry the contemporary concept.

"If we can avoid (music events with the theme of nostalgia), we will avoid it first. Because we are still playing at current events. Finger, the sense of contemporaryness is still maintained with us," said Yovie Widianto in Kemang, South Jakarta recently.

Kibordis 59 tahun itu sadar lagu-lagu Kahitna pasti memiliki unsur nostalgia, namun ia meyakini karya-karya tersebut juga masih memiliki unsur kebaruan.

In due time, said Yovie, Kahitna will also appear on nostalgic-themed music shows.

Not only in choosing the right event, Kahitna is also trying to bring novelty through the recordings they have introduced recently.

Most recently, Kahitna re-released a single titled Sejau Dua Dunia, a song that was performed in 2020 by Arsy Widianto and Brisia Jodie.

"We determine whether the concept of music on stage or recording is successful or not, but at least we are trying," said Yovie.

"From us Kahitna, this 38 years feels like we have to be more grateful. Because indeed this has exceeded expectations from what we thought at the beginning we formed this band," he concluded.
