JAKARTA - The world music group from Yogyakarta, Kuaetnika, has confirmed that they are still working even though their founder, Djaduk Ferianto, has been behind for six years.
Last weekend, Kuaetnika performed in full at the BRI Jazz Gunung Series 1 Bromo, which was held at the Java Resort Bromo Jiwa, Probolinggo on Saturday, July 19.
One of Kuaetnika's senior personnel, Purwanta, admitted that the departure of Djaduk who died on November 13, 2019 was a big loss.
Kuaetnika was even confused because she had to walk without a leader. The reason is, Pur' his nickname said, Kuaetnika was based on the values adopted by the late Djaduk.
"That we lost that figure, yes. Because when we were confused, no one was asked," said Purwanta when met by Ivan Two Putra and Bambang E Ros from VOI after their appearance at BRI Jazz Gunung Series 1 Bromo.
Now, six years after Djoduk's departure, Purwanta said there was a big change. Every problem and idea in work, built on the collectivity of the personnel.
"We have to grow up, yes we share. That's actually what makes it very different," said Pur. "So, if in the past we were very dependent on him, then suddenly he didn't exist and we had to start again, not something easy."

Continuing Purwanta's explanation, Danny Eriawan, who is also a senior member, said that Djaduk is an irreplaceable figure and his legacy remains in Kuaetnika.
In my opinion, there will be no figure who can replace Pak Djaduk. That's why we are heartened, to share responsibilities now," Danny said.
"In Kuaetnika, now we feel more and more like we have it. After Mr. Djaduk doesn't exist, we agree to continue what Mr. Djaduk has turned on in Kuaetnika," he concluded.
