Later, local Kupang musicians will play on the same stage as Indonesian Eastern regional musicians and national-scale musicians.

Although local musicians who will appear do not have experience playing on the big stage, Evan ensures that there is no inequality in terms of the quality of performers. He said local musicians who enter the line-up will train hard to provide quality performances on stage.

"We encourage them (local musicians) to be able to join the standards of national musicians. That's why they have been training three months before performing every day. They are enthusiastic about welcoming this Move It Fest," said Evan.
