JAKARTA - Saleh Husein alias Ale, guitarist and vocalist of The Adams responded to the existence of concert organizers who forbade musicians from bringing political issues when appearing on stage.

Previously, Fiersa Besari and Nadin Amizah admitted that they had to deal with those who forbade displaying visual Emergency Warning' in their concerts.

For Ale, The Adams has so far never met concert organizers who forbade them from voicing political issues.

"Even if there was (a ban), I would still do it. But yesterday there wasn't, it didn't reach me," said Saleh Husein in Cilandak, South Jakarta on Tuesday, August 27.

"I don't have a censorship concept. Every show The Adams, we will be responsible, there is nothing to do with the organizers, absolutely coming from The Adams," continued Ale.

The guitarist gave an example of how The Adams often spoke up for Palestinian independence, by presenting the Palestinian flag on their stage.

"For example, we always raise the Palestinian flag. It's part of the voice of freedom of expression, and we take it accountable," he said.

Furthermore, Ale felt that what happened to Fiersa Besari and Nadin Amizah should have become lessons. For him, musicians' voices on political issues should not be prohibited.

"But with yesterday's context (Emergency Warning), everyone is talking about the same thing. sensors shouldn't be done," he said.
