JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan sits cross-legged on the grass while enjoying the performance of the vocalist of the Padi band, Andi Fadly Arifuddin or Fadly Padi at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta on Saturday night, December 11.

It was also seen, Director of Asset Management of PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) Gunung Kartiko, Director of JIS Project Iwan Takwin, and other Jakpro directors accompanying the governor.

Anies explained that he wanted to experience the sophistication of the audio and lighting system at JIS tonight.

"So far it looks good, and maybe later it will become a reference for a place with an extraordinary lighting system and sound system," said Anies.

​Meanwhile, Fadly on that occasion sang a number of Padi songs entitled Harmoni and Mahadewi with the sparkling JIS lights as if following the rhythm of the song being played in the stadium located in Papanggo Village, Tanjung Priok.

According to Fadly, the JIS audio and lighting system is extraordinary. Especially because the stadium is world-class which was built by the hands of Indonesian architects.

"The sound system and lighting are amazing. There is no need to go all the way to Stamford Bridge. Because in Jakarta, we have JIS which was built by the nation's children," said Fadly.
