Valen DA7 Proud to Perform Betawi Songs at the Mega Concert 'Jakarta Punya Gaye'

The Mega Concert D'Academy 7 titled Jakarta Punya Gaye took place vibrantly at Emtek City Studio, West Jakarta, on Tuesday (16/6/2026). The event, which was broadcast live via Indosiar and Vidio, featured a lineup of major stars, from the King of Dangdut Rhoma Irama to champions and alumni of D'Academy such as Melly Lee, Lady Rara, Sridevi DA, Afan DA, and Eby DA.

One of the singers who caught attention was Valen DA7. In the special concert commemorating Jakarta's anniversary, Valen had a great opportunity to perform many songs themed around Betawi culture. He expressed his gratitude for being involved in this large-scale event.

Valen himself is one of the talents who now resides in Jakarta to pursue his career. It is noted that he has left his hometown for two years to venture to Jakarta since 2022. For him, Jakarta is an amazing city as a career center.

"Last year I was there for a year, this year I am also here for a year. From 2022 to 2023 is a year, now a year means two years. Alhamdulillah Jakarta is great, it really is the capital city," said Valen.

During his stay in Jakarta, Valen started to get to know the local culture, including Betawi music. On the stage of the Mega Concert, he has to perform legendary songs like Jali-Jali and Kicir-Kicir. Although these songs have strong characteristics, Valen admitted that he did not experience significant difficulties.

"It's not really hard, the song is quite relaxed. It's not as difficult as dangdut or anything, just chill like happy songs. There’s the song Jali-Jali already, basically there are seven songs about Jakarta altogether," he said.

Besides music, Valen also started to like one of Jakarta's cultural icons, namely ondel-ondel. He feels happy to be able to see the cultural performance directly in between his appearances at the Mega Concert stage."The culture, you know, like ondel-ondel, right? It already performed earlier, it's funny, Betawi culture," Valen explained.

On this occasion, Valen expressed his hopes for the city that has now become his place of work. He hopes Jakarta can continue to transform into a more advanced global city."I hope in the future Jakarta becomes more advanced, like other big cities abroad," he concluded.
