Elvy Sukaesih has been on the music stage since the 1960s, when he was not even 17 years old, and until now, the desire to appear on stage has not disappeared.
At the age of 74 years, the singer nicknamed Ratu Dangdut will appear on the big stage with the majority of young spectators. Elvy will collaborate with Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra from Japan at the Synchronize Fest 2025 which will be held in early November.
"My age is now 74 years old. Hopefully it can still be entertaining. I ask for blessing and health for a long life," Elvy said when announced as one of the main performers at a press conference in Kemang, South Jakarta last week.
Elvy is like a magnet in itself for this event. Last year, he also appeared on the main stage celebrating 60 years of his musical journey' by performing many fan favorite songs, such as Grade Gula', 'Bisik Bisik Tetangga', Mandi Madu, to Sekuntum Mawar Merah.
Remembering his appearance last year which received a lively welcome from the audience, Elvy said he was proud. Acceptance from young listeners makes him not want to stop performing on stage.
"I'm very happy, and I'm proud, they all echo and know my songs," Elvy said.
