After 15 Years, Sammy Simorangkir and Kerispatih Reunite on Stage

Kapanlagi.com - An emotional moment occurred on Friday night, May 23, 2025, when Sammy Simorangkir performed again with the band that once made him famous, Kerispatih. This collaboration became a long-awaited musical reunion after their separation in 2010.

Held at Lavva, Plaza Senayan, Central Jakarta, this performance was part of the celebration of the venue's sixth anniversary. The song Bila Rasaku Ini Rasamu was chosen to open the collaboration, bringing a touching atmosphere and high enthusiasm from the audience.

"Bila Rasaku Ini Rasamu is the most amazing and memorable song to perform together again with Kerispatih," said Sammy after the performance.

Sammy is known as the vocalist of Kerispatih since the band's early career. With them, he released several hit songs that resonate strongly with listeners, such as Mengenangmu, Kejujuran Hati, and Tapi Bukan Aku. He was an important part of four studio albums and one compilation album of Kerispatih until 2010.

Sammy's distinctive voice blends perfectly with the band's arrangement, creating a touching nostalgic atmosphere. The audience gets lost in memories of the past, singing along to every line of the song.

Sammy's return to the stage with Kerispatih also serves as a reminder of the history of pop music in the country that they once shaped together. This performance is not just about a reunion, but also a tribute to their works that remain relevant to this day.
