For Rhoma Irama, Anisa Rahman's achievements in singing Aisyah Istri Rasulullah are a special note for him. "After I saw her YouTube channel myself, I fell in love with her vocal quality and her good mentality, so I decided to duet with Anisa to sing two of my songs, Virus Corona and Rabbanaa. Of course, there is the kindness of Mr. Hadi who brought us together," said Bang Haji Rhoma Irama.

The person who had the most contribution in bringing Rhoma Irama and Anisa together is Hadi Soenyoto, a producer and the owner of HP MUSIC label.

"I thought of duetting Anisa with Bang Haji Rhoma in the songs Virus Corona and Rabbanaa, alhamdulillah Bang Haji Rhoma welcomed it with open arms and was willing to duet with Anisa. It's not easy for Bang Haji to accept duets with female singers. I am very grateful that Bang Haji agreed. The negotiation process and recording process went so fast and were facilitated by God, resulting in these 2 songs," explained Hadi Soenyoto, who oversees artists such as Iis Dahlia, Rita Sugiarto, Nicky Astria, Devano Danendra, Ivan Gunawan.

2. Directly Where to Go 2 Songs

The recording process was done at Soneta Studio, owned by Rhoma Irama in Depok. They directly recorded 2 songs that were directly supervised by Bang Haji Rhoma himself.
