The 'Citayam All Stars' Gang Holds an Art Action in Jakarta's Old Town

A number of musicians and figures involved in this event include: Marjinal, Orkes Trotoar, Buntung Cees, Katababa, as well as the Citayam All Star community featuring Bonge, Jeje, Roy, Kurma, Alpin, Awwa, Della, Badru, Salsa, Jajat.

They enlivened the activities with various artistic performances, street music, and the presentation of symbolic jerseys as a token of gratitude.

The artistic actions in Kota Tua have become a symbol of the revival of the MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) clothing sector, which is now seeing new opportunities to rise, grow again, and contribute to the national economy.

Business actors hope this momentum strengthens the government's commitment to protect the domestic market from the influx of illegal goods, while also opening up space for creative collaboration between MSMEs, the arts community, and the government.

SME players also expressed their appreciation to all levels of government, including security forces, who have taken action against the smuggling of illegal second-hand goods.

In his statement, the CEO of Sinergi ADV Nusantara, Prama Tirta, emphasized that this policy rekindles hope for garment workers who have survived for the past 10 years amid the onslaught of cheap illegal goods that disrupt the market.

"Today we express our utmost gratitude to the government, especially Mr. Purbaya who has been actively stopping illegal products from entering Indonesia. So we, the confectionery industry, have new hopes, have new light to be more enthusiastic moving forward," he said.

As a reminder, Bonge, Jeje, Roy, and Kurma are known as the 'Citayem Fashion Week' artists from 2022. They appeared trendy like in a fashion show, wearing the latest fashion while hanging out in the Dukuh Atas area, Central Jakarta.
