Harmoni strains of music and charm are good for Indonesia to be presented at the International Golo Mori Jazz (IGMJ) 2025. After being delayed, this event is ready to be held at the Golo Mori Convention Center (GMCC), The Golo Mori area, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) on April 12.

Golo Mori himself is a village not far from Labuan Bajo that has been famous for his nature. Promising the exciting experience of quality music performances on God's Hill, the first IGMJ event carried the theme "Jazz from the East, Exotic!".

Not only music festivals, the 2025 IGMJ is a celebration of culture and togetherness that strengthens the synergy between the music and tourism industry. The presence of this festival is expected to increase the appeal of The Golo Mori as a world-class tourist destination that combines natural arts, culture and beauty in a harmonious unit.

The ITDC collaboration project with Mount Jazz, Bank BNI and Pelita Air will present well-known musicians to appear on a special stage set of exotic scenery. Get ready to welcome Andien, Maliq & D Essentials, Sheila Majid, as well as Tohpati's special appearance in an orchestra format that we already know the quality of.

The IGMJ was originally scheduled to take place in November 2024, but had to be delayed due to the disaster that hit the area around the venue.roy War Kuya, Director of Commercial ITDC, said that the delay was a form of concern for residents in Golo Mori and its surroundings.

"As organizers, we would like to convey deep empathy to the entire community affected by the eruption of Mount Lewotobi, Men. This incident is a challenge for many parties, including us as the organizers of the 2025 International Golo Mori Jazz. However, more than just a challenge, this is an opportunity to show the spirit to rise together through the power of music," he said at a press conference held today, March 5 at the Menteng Young Leaf restaurant, Central Jakarta.

Utilization is the key word emphasized in organizing this festival. Not only lively entertainment, the people of Golo Mori as the host will also feel the positive impact in terms of economic turnover.

The International Golo Mori Jazz 2025 is a tangible manifestation of The Golo Mori's great potential as a world-class tourism destination. We hope that this event can further introduce The Golo Mori to the world and encourage the growth of the tourism sector and the creative economy in Indonesia," continued Troy War.

Bagas Kandiatmono, CEO of Mount Indonesia Jazz, is also committed to involving local residents to be involved in this joint 'hajatan'.

"We will involve residents around Golo Mori to become a committee, around 80% of the committee is residents there. Hopefully there will be a transfer of knowledge that will occur thanks to this event," he said.

Andien Aisyah, one of the 2025 IGMJ lineups, is very enthusiastic about giving the best performance. For him, music is a universal language that can foster hope and unite differences.

"I'm really looking forward to the moment to perform at the International Golo Mori Jazz 2025. Jazz music has the power to unite many people, and when played with the backdrop of natural beauty like in Golo Mori, I'm sure this experience will be very special for all who attend," he said.

With a capacity of around 1,100 spectators, currently tickets are still available and can be purchased at special prices, as well as installment through Wondr, the BNI mobile application. Hearing the story of Andien whose eyes brightened when talking about Golo Mori, I can't wait to be part of the 2025 International Golo Mori Jazz.
