Nancy Ajram's Concert in Jakarta (Ivan Two Men/VOI)

The singer, nicknamed Queen of Arab Pop from Lebanon, finally set foot in the capital after a long time, has only become a playlist of fans' dreams in Indonesia.

Nancy's arrival is an anomaly. In the midst of the rampant onslaught of Western and K-Pop music concerts, the diva, whose songs went viral thanks to the TikTok platform, was able to fill Istora with spectators who, although not to explode, remained congested for concert sizes on weekdays.

Before the 42-year-old singer appeared on stage, thousands of spectators were dominated by women wearing hijabs with visual performances on stage that spoil the eyes, complete with musical accompaniments, fireworks, and smoke effects.

Since the first minute, Nancy showed her class as a true superstar. There's no excessive pleasant. She immediately kicked off with an energetic "Badna Nwalee El Jaw". The main focus is on the aura of Nancy's magnetis. Appearing in a stunning dress, she dances, interacts, and sings with a stable vocal.

Good evening Jakarta, Nancy conveyed her first greeting, which was then greeted with great fanfare.

"I've always dreamed of this moment. Thank you for coming tonight," Nancy said again. And I want to hear you guys (smelling) even harder.

Furthermore, the singer, who has debuted since 1998, expressed her gratitude to the promoter (Anas Alimi with Rajawali Indonesia), sponsors, and the entire working team.

"Thank you for making tonight beautiful," he said.

The show continued, Nancy brought another number, such as Lown Ayunak, Ya Albo, El Donio Helwa, Sah Sah, Fi Hagat, aah W Noss, Aala Shanak, Rahent Aleik, Oul Tani Eyh, Yay, Albi Ya Albi, Sidi Ya Sidi, to Tegy Nenbeset.

The surprise was also presented when Nancy called Ayu Ting Ting on stage. The audience screamed again. Naturally, Ayu's appearance was not announced by the previous promoter. Both featured Ma Tegi Hena, where Ayu fluently sang every verse of the song.

Not only on-stage appearance. The great energy brought by thousands of fans is a separate dish. The most interesting phenomenon is how viral songs such as "Ya Tabtab" and "Alby Ya Me7tas" are able to make the audience even wearing hijab even protracted in massive wobbles and koor.

Overall, the Nancy Ajram concert in Jakarta is a unique experience. He managed to bring the feel of a party from Beirut to Jakarta with excellent performance and chemistry with the audience. Not many cheap gimmicks, only sound, charisma, and repertoire which are indeed powerful.

Towards the end of her appearance, Nancy also expressed how she felt through her first concert in Indonesia. "I just want to say, I am very happy to meet you tonight," she said.

That night, we witnessed a successful cultural marriage. Pop Arab, although considered segmentive, turns out to have a loyal market in the country. Through this show, Nancy Ajram has fulfilled her promise in giving the best for fans in Indonesia.
