Revealed: The Reason Anggy Umbara Collaborates with Sukatani Band for the Soundtrack of the Film 'OZORA'

Kapanlagi.com - The selection of background music or soundtrack in a film plays a very crucial role in building emotions. For his latest drama film filled with issues of injustice, OZORA, director Anggy Umbara has an unusual choice. He specifically collaborated with the band Sukatani to fill the main soundtrack of this film.

This decision, according to Anggy, is not without reason. He feels there is a red thread of ideological connection between the spirit carried by Sukatani and the message he wants to convey through the film OZORA. For him, this band has a 'spirit of resistance' that fits perfectly with the theme of the film.

“The most important thing is that the songs of Sukatani are used, right?” he said when met in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (22/10/2025).

Interestingly, there was an internal debate among the production team regarding the lyrics of the song Suka Tani, which were considered quite provocative and "tendentious". There was a suggestion to slightly change or soften some words in the lyrics.

"Initially, we wanted to take out some of the words," Anggy revealed.

4. Maintain the Originality of the Lyrics

However, after careful consideration, they ultimately decided to maintain the originality of the lyrics. Anggy feels that changing the lyrics is the same as destroying the honesty and artistic expression of the band itself.

"In the end, we talked again, and finally decided not to change it. Let's leave it intact, as it is, because that is indeed a form of honesty from the band," he emphasized.
