Ekoda Inspires the Spirit of Muslims in the Month of Ramadan Through the Single 'Marhaban Ya Ramadan'

Kapanlagi.com - Muslims in Indonesia and around the world are currently experiencing a different Ramadan compared to previous years. As we know, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many typical activities in Ramadan cannot be done, such as tarawih prayers in the mosque.

Even events like breaking the fast together with friends can no longer be done for the sake of everyone's safety. The worse news is that the ban on homecoming has also been reinforced by the government. It is even possible that Eid prayers will also be canceled.

The period of self-quarantine at home certainly makes the public bored. Each person tries to do various things to avoid boredom, like what Ekoda did.

The man who works as the CEO of Cyrus Network Political Consultant successfully created and released a pop genre single titled Marhaban Yaa Ramadhan. Although he works as a politician, it is surprising that Ekoda also has a great talent in the music industry.

"Being a political consultant is just a hobby for me. My goal is to have a work in the field of singing. Although I have been more involved in hobbies, in my spare time, I finally managed to produce a work, like this song," explained Ekoda to the media recently.

1. Invite Everyone to Stay Enthusiastic

This is not Ekoda's first work with a religious theme. Last Ramadan in 2018, he released a mini album titled Curahan Hati which mostly consists of religious lyrics. This time, the graduate of Bogor Agricultural Institute wants to invite everyone to stay joyful in welcoming Ramadan despite the different circumstances.

"The situation may be different, it may be full of concerns. But welcoming Ramadan should still be joyful, because this is a month full of blessings, divine light illuminating the earth, and the night of destiny awaits. So why should we be immersed in sadness? We must optimize the mercy and blessings of Allah in this month of Ramadan," he added.

2. Getting Closer to Family

Ekoda chooses to stay positive and take lessons from all the trials happening right now. One of them is being able to spend more time with family.

"This is the first time we realize and see the details of life at our own home. Complete with all kinds of joys, laughter, and also challenges. This is also the first time we can worship together with our family full-time. Fathers have to memorize verses to become the Imam for the family. So let's focus on the lessons," Ekoda explained.

3. Watch the Video!

The single Marhaban Yaa Ramadan can now be listened to on digital music platforms such as Spotify, Jook, iTunes, and Apple Music. Meanwhile, the music video can also be watched on the Ekoda Official YouTube account.

"Try listening and absorbing it. Insha Allah, Ramadan feels different, but meaningful," concluded Ekoda.
