JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Music Award Foundation (YAMI), Chandra Darusman, stated that his party has opened the possibility of collaborating with the Indonesian Music Award (AMI) with music awards abroad.

One of the possibilities that will be tried is collaboration with Japan, which will later involve the Ministry of Culture (Kemenbud), which he said has committed to introducing Indonesian music abroad.

"In the future, we with the ministry will collaborate and expand, take AMI abroad," Candra said at a press conference ahead of the AMI Awards peak night celebration at the Ministry of Culture, Central Jakarta, Monday, December 2.

Candra said that his party had invited representatives from Japan to attend the AMI Awards peak night which will take place at Ciputra Artpreneur, South Jakarta on Wednesday, December 4.

"One of our projects this year is to start cooperation with awards from Japan, which they will also delegate on December 4, and who knows how to pioneer," said the Karimata personnel.

Candra sees this collaboration as mutually beneficial for both parties, with Japanese music awarded in Indonesia, and vice versa, Indonesian music awarded in Japan.

"In addition to exchanging winners from each award, so that Indonesia enters Japan and we will also bring Japanese music to Indonesia," he concluded.
