1. Most Difficult

“In my opinion, dangdut is the most difficult music to learn. But once we know how to sing dangdut, we can sing all genres. So for me, dangdut is also a source of income,” he said.

Furthermore, he added that dangdut is a music genre that is very close to the lives of the Indonesian people. For Givri, becoming a dangdut singer is the right step because this music still holds a special place in the hearts of its fans.

“Because in Indonesia, if you don’t sing dangdut, it’s not complete,” Givri said briefly.

On the other hand, he acknowledged how much he is inspired by senior singers.

“The dangdut songs are definitely Umi Elvi Sukaesih, Bunda Rita Sugiarto, Iyeth Bustami. They have heavy songs that are really great to learn. I learned dangdut songs from their songs. So I really favor those figures,” Givri said.

3. Hope for the Young Generation

Givri hopes that Dangdut music will continue to exist in the current generation. It's no surprise that he supports and even performs in an event titled Gendang (Dangdut Generation) that airs on TVRI.

“So it's kind of a program for the current dangdut generation. Like Givri, who is from the dangdut generation of the past at KDI. Until this moment, he is still in dangdut. That's why he participates in the Gendang Dangdut Generation event,” he concluded.
