"Last year I met him in Jogja. He wanted to have a performance, and what was actually being discussed, because I am a music journalist, is the appreciation for his works which are very popular among young people, and that is happening," said Bens Leo.

"Actually, at that time I only mentioned that 'you are a very complete person in the Indonesian music industry', there has never been anyone like Didi Kempot. Javanese songs are liked by non-Javanese people, there are people from Bali, Batak, Minang, everyone who can sing his songs," concluded Bens Leo.
