Eventori Award 2022 Given to Erick Thohir and the Late Glenn Fredly

Kapanlagi.com - On Wednesday (2/2) yesterday, a magnificent sight was presented at the launch event of the Eventori Super App, a platform born out of the collaboration of Indonesia's largest entertainment industry. The event was held at the Jakarta Convention Center.

In the midst of the event, a touching atmosphere suddenly emerged. Yes, the familiar piano sound, the intro of the song Kasih Putih suddenly echoed. As is known, this emotional hit single was popularized by the late Glenn Fredly and composed by Yovie Widianto.

At the event, the late Glenn was indeed awarded the Eventori Award 2022 for his contributions that have greatly helped the progress of the national music industry. Meanwhile, Erick Thohir also received a similar award for his role as the Chairman of the Indonesia Asian Games 2018 Organizing Committee (INASGOC).

In a presented video presentation, Glenn is considered as an inspiring figure and in line with Eventori's vision. As is known, Glenn embarked on a journey in the entertainment industry from the bottom rung by participating in a talent search event on a private television. From there, Glenn is considered to have colored the Indonesian entertainment world with various works and initiatives, including popularizing the recognition of Ambon as the World Music City by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Meanwhile, Erick, who is currently serving as the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, is considered not only successful in organizing the 2018 Asian Games that made the nation proud and renowned, but also transforming the largest sports event in Asia into a precious moment for thousands of Indonesian creative talents to shine on the world stage.

"I accept this award from Eventori gracefully, but actually this award is not for me personally. But for those behind me, who work day and night, with super high spirits, tireless, to make the Asian Games event happen. I dedicate this to those who manage the stage, lighting designers, sound designers, choreographers, artists and performers, fireworks designers, construction workers, ticketing staff, and many other creative people behind me. Hopefully, this will be an inspiration for creative people in Indonesia," said Erick Thohir, who appeared casually that night in jeans and a blazer.
