JAKARTA - The cooperation between neighboring countries in music has returned through the collaboration of The Impatient Sisters as an indie-folk trio from Malaysia with Ari Renaldi as producer.

The collaboration between the two resulted in a new single that was present in two versions, namely Galok Raya with lyrics in Malay and Gempita Hari Raya which is another version with Indonesian lyrics.

This single is inspired by swing-jazz music in the style of Saloma, The King Sisters, and Count Basie, by displaying a distinctive humorous side to provide a fresh and joyful experience for listeners.

The song itself tells the story of the hope of a young woman to find love in the midst of the excitement of the holiday. 'Gempita Hari Raya' tries to capture a heart rhythm full of excitement in the boisterous atmosphere of Eid, through its humorous lyrics and the presence of a lively brass section.

Meanwhile, the collaboration between The Impatient Sisters and Ari Renaldi stems from their long-standing friendship. However, this is the first time the two have had the opportunity to have fun in the production of new songs.

Impressed by the combination of humorous lyrics and festive music in the song, Ari Renaldi and The Impatient Sisters took the initiative to introduce this song to Indonesian listeners by adapting the lyrics of the Malay language into Indonesian lyrics without reducing the value of poetry and the happy atmosphere of Eid.

The composition of the song and the initial lyrics of Galok Raya was created by The Impatient Sisters, which was partially translated by Ari Renaldi and Rina Khaiani to be friendly to the ears of Indonesian listeners.

Meanwhile, Ari Renaldi's arrangements and musical production were handled directly at a studio in Bandung, with recordings of instruments for the Gempita Hari Raya being carried out live by the musicians of the city of Kembang.

For information, the Galok Raya and Gempita Hari Raya collaborations between The Impatient Sisters and Ari Renaldi can already be heard on various digital music streaming services.
