Enthusiasm Of Social Media Users Enlivens The Work Of The Late Gusti Irwan Wibowo

Gusti Irwan Wibowo (Ist)

JAKARTA - Nobody thought ENDIKUP would be Gusti Irwan Wibowo's first and last album. Although he did not have time to celebrate his works with fans, the deceased succeeded in realizing his dream of entertaining many people.

One of the songs that has become a new phenomenon on social media is Great Day. This track is widely used by social media users on videos of their creation on platforms such as TikTok (751 Thousand TikTok Reactions) and Instagram Reels (103,000 Reels Reactions). The humorous and simple lyrics, the melody attached to the head and the lively arrangement were able to bring a smile from the first second.

This song is the result of Gusti's collaboration with Nehru Rindra which presents a fun duet feel, but full of chemistry. Funny lyrics such as 'State, beautiful day' until 'Can we meet even for a moment?' is the most widely used part in various content, ranging from parody videos, daily vlogs, to lipsync challenge. That is the marker of the skyrocketing of this song, triggering also various versions of covers and remixes that have been spread across social media timelines in recent times.

Speaking of "ENDIKUP", the album was released exactly a month after Gusti died of a heart attack in Lembang, West Bandung last June 15. Released posthumously, this album is a farewell work as well as an offering of Gusti's last love for Indonesian music lovers.

Carrying the genre he calls Enak in Kuping', Gusti still presents a distinctive musical style with pop dangdut ingredients, hilarious lyrics, modern Malay nuances, to a little touch of absurd which remains related to the current generation.

Joining 9 colorful tracks, 'Great Day' has become a favorite of many people. The character of the song is light but entertaining, making the song an ideal soundtrack choice for various moments from netizens. This song also shows Gusti's characteristics who always succeeds in combining honesty, satire, and musicality that cannot be underestimated.

Now, even though the musician has passed away, his spirit and character are still alive through the songs he left. Great Day is not only a crowded anthem, but also a reminder that honest and authentic works will always find their way into the hearts of many people.
