Coming with his wife and family, Ganjar was seen mingling with other spectators. He arrived during Kunto Aji's performance and immediately took a seat in the audience. The figure of Ganjar who was wearing white clothes looked so conspicuous among the thousands of spectators.

It turned out that Ganjar's presence did not go unnoticed by the Padi Reborn personnel. Fadly, the vocalist, immediately greeted Ganjar who was sitting in the front row. Likewise the guitarist, Piyu.

“After two years of the pandemic, we can be a part of the 2022 Prambanan Jazz Festival, Sewindu Celebrates Rindu. What a beautiful setting tonight and also all Paddy Buddy and the audience all who are sitting here. I was surprised when I entered, it turned out that there was Pak Ganjar and his family.
