JAKARTA - The pandemic has caused live music concerts to be cancelled. Musician Armand Maulana hopes to soon appear in a live concert with the easing of restrictions on community activities (PPKM).
"For a concert, I'm happy (if it is allowed, such as watching sports live)," Armand told ANTARA, quoted on Monday, March 14.
Unfortunately, PPKM regulations have not been standardized, thus triggering differences in regulations in a number of regions. He gave an example like when praying in the mosque. He said that several mosques had begun to set easing as if they had not kept their distance. However, there are also some mosques that have not implemented it.
“The only problem is that the regulations must be clear. It means that sometimes the regulations of the central and regional governments are different. For example, the central government has planned this, easing, it's okay not to wear masks because the important thing is to have two vaccines or boosters," he said.
“But when it comes to regional regulations, local governments like to be different, right? In the end, for example, there will be a concert, someone will tag a video, it will continue to go viral. That's what I think makes the rules in music so unclear. Ups and down. That's why it has to be uniform," he added.
In addition, although currently many hybrid events have been held, according to Armand, live concerts need to be held if the regulations are standardized. Because according to him, the energy obtained by the musicians will be present if they interact directly with the audience.
"What to do. Music is the energy from meeting the audience. Everywhere it will definitely be more (fun) offline," said Armand.
"Just come back again. Must be uniformed first (rules). That's why it's been up and down since yesterday. Allowed, no, allowed, no. But if you choose, it's better to go offline," concluded Armand Maulana.
