BANYUWANGI - That's a snippet of the lyrics of Farel Prayoga's new song, an elementary school boy from Banyuwangi who performed the song 'Ojo Compared toke'. The song entitled 'Tugiman' was made specifically for the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo.

Farel immediately sang the song Tugiman in front of Ganjar, when Ganjar went to Banyuwangi to inaugurate the Banyuwangi KAGAMA management. With a melodious voice and a distinctive clove, Farel managed to make Ganjar smile happily.

"This is a new song specifically for Mr. Ganjar, the title is Tugiman. The extension is that you are comfortable," Farel said with a smile.

Ganjar never stopped laughing and applauding as Farel sang the song Tugiman. He also teased Farel with a tickling question about Ganjar's not having a name on the song.

"He said there was a song for me, how come there is no Ganjar's name. In fact, Tugiman. Just change my name, Tugiman," said Ganjar to all laughter, Monday, August 29.

The meeting between Ganjar and Farel took place casually. The two chatted full of laughter. Several times, Ganjar teased Farel, who is now an artist. When Ganjar asked if his friends asked for a group photo or signature, Farel's answer turned out to be unexpected.

"Ah, sir, wong said my friends, wis bosen (don't get bored). You play every day," he said, greeted with laughter from Ganjar.

In addition to the song Tugiman, Farel also entertained Ganjar and others with hits. Among them is Ojo Compared to his new song entitled Rain. Ganjar looks engrossed in swaying while listening to his melodious voice.

Seeing Farel's talent, Ganjar said he was proud. He believes, there are still many children from the region who have extraordinary potential like Farel.

"So don't take them for granted. The potential of our children from extraordinary areas. Today I met Farel, who proved his spirit was great," he added.

Even so, Ganjar advised Farel not to forget his obligations as a child. Namely school and study.

"I ordered, keep learning. Singing is okay, but learning must be. Moreover, he wants to be a pilot, so he has to be enthusiastic about learning, Farel. And for parents and managers, I order Farel to continue to enjoy his world as a child and not to be forced to grow up quickly," he said.

When asked about Farel's new song titled Tugiman, Ganjar admitted that he was surprised. He did not expect, Farel sang the song Tugiman which he said was special for Ganjar.

"Yes, I was very surprised, I didn't expect to make a song. But I protested, this is a song for me, why doesn't it have Ganjar's name. It turned out to be Tugiman. That's why yesterday at Unair, many students shouted Tugiman, Tugiman. What was my name? Just change Ganjar Tugiman," he concluded with a laugh.
