Ayu Ting Ting Holds Solo Concert in Depok, Embracing Modern and K-Pop Vibes

Kapanlagi.com - After 15 years of a career in the music industry, Ayu Ting Ting will finally hold her first solo concert. This concert marks an important moment in her career as a dangdut singer who has long been in the hearts of her fans. The singer from Depok expressed that this concert is something very special. She feels grateful because she can finally greet her fans through a music performance specially crafted for her.

"I will present something different that I have never... I never expected that between my voice, I would be chosen as the first dangdut singer, I will bring dangdut to become modern," said Ayu Ting Ting at a press conference held in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on Friday (16/5).

Although she has not revealed detailed information about her concert concept, Ayu assures that she will present a unique experience. One of them is by incorporating elements of popular Korean music into the performance.

"What is clear is that there will definitely be, because Antara Suara can realize the concert dream that I hope for. So there will definitely be a touch of K-Pop, just watch," said Ayu.

This Ayu Ting Ting concert is a collaboration with the promoter Antara Suara. The CEO of Antara Suara, Andri Verraning Ayu, mentioned that the concert is an important moment for the dangdut music genre in Indonesia.

"Let me tell you a little, we promoters in Indonesia focus on organizing solo concerts for Indonesian musicians across several genres. This is the first time for dangdut. We have tried all the others before," said Verraning Ayu.

1. Still Quite Rare

According to Andri, solo concerts in the dangdut genre are still considered rare compared to other genres like pop or rock. Therefore, this concert is expected to pave the way for other dangdut singers to hold their own solo concerts.

"We want it to be a one-time event, so there's Dangdut Dangdutan, a platform for dangdut musicians who have their own dream concerts. Many musicians outside of dangdut hold their own concerts, but dangdut is quite limited. From now on, dangdut music can have its own concerts, not just always performing on TV shows," he said.

Andri also highlighted the importance of presenting dangdut concerts with good production standards. He noted that there are still many dangdut concerts that seem haphazard and not prepared professionally.

"Quite a few dangdut concerts usually don't have proper standards, just going through the motions. We want to let others know why dangdut can't also be made international. Indeed, we now have this reference so that dangdut music can go international," explained Verraning Ayu.
