Aruma Reveals Touching Story Behind the Indonesian Version of the Song ‘Mapa’ by SB19

Kapanlagi.com - Talented young singer Aruma captures public attention once again through her unexpected collaboration with the Filipino boyband, SB19. In this special project, Aruma is entrusted to re-sing the song titled Mapa, which is one of the emotional hits from the K-Pop group.

This song is widely known for its deep message about family, especially the figures of mother and father.

"The title of the song I'm singing is Mapa. It's basically about mama and papa," said Aruma while sharing her story about her involvement in the project.

1. Indonesian Language Version

The version presented by Aruma is not just an ordinary cover. The song Mapa, which was originally in Tagalog, is now available in an Indonesian language version. Aruma also directly participated in the process of rewriting the lyrics to ensure that the meaning is preserved and does not sound like a literal translation.

"So that the Indonesian language doesn’t sound too much like a translation. I rewrote it together with Sony Music," she continued to explain.

This creative process has become a unique challenge for Aruma. She wants the emotional nuance of the song Mapa to still resonate with Indonesian listeners, without losing its original spirit. As a result, this song comes wrapped in a new layer that is still rich in meaning but closer to local ears.

2. Opportunities to Enter the International Market

This cross-country collaboration opens up broader opportunities for Aruma to penetrate the international market. The rising singer hopes to reach more music lovers from various parts of the world through projects like this.

"I hope I can embrace many music listeners again in an international platform. Because that is also one of my dreams. I really want to explore many countries, to be recognized in many countries. And hopefully, I can also bring glory to Indonesia," she said enthusiastically.

With a spirit of collaboration and a global vision, Aruma proves that young Indonesian musicians have great potential to shine on the international stage. Her collaboration with SB19 is not just about music, but also about bringing Indonesian culture to the world stage.
