12 Portraits of the Excitement of an Intimate Gathering with Hari Putra and the Release of the MV 'Zapin Hati Melayang', Idols & Fans Close Together

In an event titled 'Intimate Gathering with Hari Putra' held offline at the KapanLagi.com office, fans were able to interact closely with their idol.

Hari Putra is known as one of the dangdut singers from the Indonesian Dangdut League (LIDA) who is very humble and friendly to fans. Hari's fans are also known to be very militant in supporting their idol. 

It is known that since sitting in junior high school, Hari has been accustomed to singing Malay songs on various local stages, such as the anniversary of Jambi province and other regional events. This has given Hari Putra a strong and authentic vocal character in performing this genre.

"The song Zapin Hati Melayang is a special collaboration with renowned songwriter, Tengku Shafick, who is also known for his skill in creating and arranging music with a Malay vibe.

"Coincidentally, in 2025 I haven't made any Malay songs, so this is like a moment I've been really looking forward to," he continued.

The music video for Hari was shot in the Bandung area, West Java. Hari admitted that he had an exciting experience during the shoot.

"The shooting was really full of challenges. Because the location was outdoors, we were very dependent on the weather. Just when we were having fun dancing, it suddenly poured heavily. We waited for it to subside, danced again, and then it rained again. So we were really racing against the rain during the shoot," said Hari.

"Another fun thing is that the ground at the shooting location was muddy because of the rain, and Hari along with the music video model had to run around chasing each other while holding hands, and that mud stuck to their shoes and pants. It was really exciting," he continued.

Through his work, Hari Putra carries a noble mission to preserve and popularize Malay culture amidst the onslaught of modern music. He believes that music is the most effective medium to bridge the younger generation with their cultural roots.

"This song is not just a work, but a form of my love for Malay culture, which has been a part of my life since childhood," said Hari Putra.

"With the release of this single, Hari wants to be better known by the public as a Malay dangdut singer while also highlighting the characteristics of Jambi. Who knows, the Malay Jambi song could become famous and penetrate the ASEAN market. Amen," he concluded.

After the event, Hari accommodated requests for photos with fans and crew present at the KapanLagi.com office. 

Hari Putra, who is now 27 years old, was the 3rd place winner of LIDA 2020. Until now, Hari continues to be productive with new works that color the dangdut scene in the homeland.
