Celebrating 22 Years of Working, Andien Successfully Captivates the Audience with the Melodi Monolog Concert: Dan Lalu

Kapanlagi.com - Twenty-two years is not a short time for a musician to be involved in the entertainment industry in the homeland. In that time, Andien has proven herself to be one of the admired singers and musicians.

To celebrate her 22 years of success in her career, Andien gave a special performance through a concert titled Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu. The concert, which took place on February 22, 2022, starting at 19:00 WIB online and for free on Vidio.com, successfully captivated the audience at home. Curious about what it's like? Here's a summary of the fun!

Presenting 12 Songs Divided into 3 Phases of Journey

Not only the name, Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu also offers an interesting and different concept. Through the concert, Andien performed her 12 best songs, such as Berlayar, Gemintang, Sahabat Setia, and many more. Each song is divided into 3 phases of the journey, namely Start, Separate, and Arrive.

These phases represent the series of long human life journeys, which ignite a question in one's head, "And Then?". Interestingly, this performance concept is taken from Andien's process of recording dreams and delving into her imagination.

"The opportunity to celebrate 22 years of work on 22.02.2022 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me," said Andien.

What's cool is that each song in this concert is packaged in reflective narratives, inviting viewers to reflect and introspect.

Held in De Djawatan Forest, Banyuwangi

The uniqueness presented in Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu can also be found in the choice of concert location. Instead of a grand building, Andien chose De Djawatan Forest in Banyuwangi, East Java as the venue.

For 45 minutes, Andien performed her songs with a live recorded concept in this tourist forest. According to Andien, this special performance intentionally embraces a concept close to the earth and nature as the place where humans begin everything.

This concert itself was directed by Shadtoto Prasetio. The famous director and creative director, known for his unique works, successfully presented dramatic staging throughout the Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu concert.

Presenting Arrangements with a Different Vibe

Although the songs performed by Andien in this concert are her best hits from 2000-2021, the audience is amazed because they are presented with different arrangements. All of Andien's songs performed in Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu were rearranged by Lie Indra Perkasa.

Lie successfully transformed Andien's songs into a deeper and more spiritual dimension. This is also the reason why, although there are no new songs in this performance, Lie managed to create a different atmosphere. This includes incorporating sounds of woodwinds such as bass, clarinet, and flute, or brass instruments such as flugel, bass trumpets, and tuba.

Enhanced with Choreography and Upcycle Fashion

Not only that, Andien perfected her performance with accompanying dancers trained directly by the young and talented choreographer, Alisa Soelaeman. Their presence adds a magical and surreal atmosphere throughout the Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu concert.

In terms of fashion, Andien also appeared with total dedication. She collaborated with fashion designer Tangan and Jonathan Andy as the fashion director. With their hands, Andien brought to life the concept of upcycle fashion, which means recycling clothes for her costumes on the Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu stage. The dress Andien wore was a combination of 4 dresses she had worn in previous concerts.

Andien revealed that she wants to support sustainable fashion by informing the public that recycled clothing is beautiful and has its own value. In addition, Andien emphasizes that the recycled clothing she wears in the Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu concert also symbolizes the journey of humans with the cycle of Beginning, Separation, and Arrival.

“Without us realizing it, this cycle continues to repeat itself until our time is up,” said Andien.

Through the Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu concert, Andien successfully brought her lost imagination to life in the middle of the forest, which she admitted has been a long-standing dream. She also managed to share stories through a meaningful performance.

“I hope it can be a reflection of our journey in the circular phase of human travel,” she concluded.

The success of Andien's Melodi Monolog: Dan Lalu concert is also thanks to Cetaphil as one of the main sponsors. The brand, famous for its range of skincare products that help maintain healthy skin by protecting it from 5 signs of sensitive skin, has also appointed Andien as its brand ambassador. It is not uncommon for various interesting beauty and skin health events to be held by Cetaphil together with Andien. Moreover, Andien never hesitates to express that Cetaphil is one of her favorite skincare products that always make her face look healthy and youthful.
