JAKARTA - The virality of the song Tabola Bale is a phenomenon that has been so highlighted in this year's Indonesian music scene.
This song immediately made the singers 'Sillet Open Up, Jacson Zeran, Juan Reza, and Diva Aurel' known to the wider public, especially young people who are active on social media.
The Bale football has also brought an Open Up Simplet, whose real name is Siprianus Bhuka, to appear on the Commemoration of Indonesian Independence Day at the State Palace.
Most recently, the viral song also earned Siprianus three wins at the 2025 AMI Awards, through the categories of Best Pop Song Creators, Best Collaborative Production Works, and Best Regional Language Song Production Works.
Although the achievement of 'Tabola Bale' is so big even though in a short time Siprianus still has one hope. He wanted to perform his song directly abroad.
"If we want to be taken abroad, we all hope. Maybe one day we can represent Indonesia or represent groups from Indonesia (to appear abroad)," said Siprianus when met in Kuningan, South Jakarta recently.

This hope is not without reason. Because on social media, Bale's football also received good attention from netizens all over the world.
"Or maybe we were sent as Indonesian envoys to represent Indonesia singing in people's countries or what, we both hope, both pray," he added.
Furthermore, Siprianus revealed how Bale's achievement was far beyond his expectations, unlike the current conditions, where Eastern Indonesia's songs are so easily accepted on a national scale.
"What happened today, it was beyond our expectations. Very, very beyond our expectations," he said. We all know that Eastern music is included in regional songs, not everyone can digest the song, not everyone can get what the song says.
"But in essence, if the music was actually unifying, if the music had been playing, there the music would be good, everyone would be happy, surely everyone would sway," concluded Siprianus Bhuka.
