PROBOLINGGO - Karimata performed nine songs while filling the legendary slot at the Bromo Mountain Series 1 Jazz which took place at the Java Resort Jiwa Amphitheater Bromo, Probolinggo, Saturday, July 19 evening.
Candra Darusman (keyboards), Aminoto Kosin (boards), and Budhy Haryono (drums) as genuine personnel, accompanied by Indro Hardjodikoro (bass), Dony Koeswinarno (flute, saksofon), and Noldy Benjamin (guitar).
instrumental songs such as Dahaga, Relief, Gringgo, Kharisma, Atas Batas, and Why Not are Karimata's mainstays to warm the atmosphere in cool Bromo.
However, when performing songs that require vocals, such as Childhood, 'Today Is Ours', and The Story of Life a young singer from Malang, Windyxi, was presented as a collaborator.
Candra Darusman said that in his performances in recent years, he often brought collaborator singers. And what makes it different, they choose local singers, rather than having to bring singers from Jakarta.
"Actually, it's simple, we always want to invite local musicians. Because we know that local musicians have the potential not to lose to those in Jakarta," said Candra, met by Ivan Two Putra and Bambang E Ros from VOI after the appearance.
The concept of presenting local musicians is trying to be maintained. The reason, said Candra, the results are always satisfying.
"When in Bali, the singer was great too. In Jogja, then in Bandung, and now in Bromo there is a singer from Malang, Wendy Pribai, cool too. So, it is proven that this local artist is not inferior, sometimes even better. And this we want to continue to include them, "he added.

The choice of Windyvi as collaborators was entrusted to Budhy Haryono and Indro Hardjodikoro, who did know many talented young musicians in many areas.
"Incidentally, I know many Malang musicians. So, I asked several vocalists, especially female vocalists, and I chose several. Of the five singers, I then threw them at my friends, and Windy Chaotici was elected from Malang," said Budhy.
Separately, Wendy, who was enthusiastic about appearing with Karimata, admitted that she was worried about her appearance. Not to mention, practice is only done once when checking sound at the location of the show.
When contacted to play with Karimata, I was nervous, because they are one of the Indonesian music legends, all of whom have their own works, and they are all definitely great people. So, the pressure is really tough," said Wendy.
"And the training Only once at check sound. So, each song is only performed once, it keeps getting finished because everything is cold," he continued.
However, Karimata's appearance with Wendy Municihas proven successful. The audience gave a big welcome to their performance.
