This virtual concert successfully broke MURI records. Well, to satisfy your curiosity, here are the highlights of the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert.

Opened with a Special Performance by Didi Kempot's Closest People

The Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert opened with a special performance by the closest people to the late Didi Kempot. First, there was Shuma Prada who performed a special rendition of the song "Pantai Klayar". Shuma also didn't forget to express her impression as Didi Kempot's niece.

"What I remember the most is his kindness, to anyone, whatever we do, it must be done with sincerity, and the result will be good." Good experience with him, when I was a naughty child, I often played at his house, in the morning I would come and always be given pocket money to buy meatballs," said Shuma.

After Shuma, the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert continued with a performance by Arda Tatu. This disabled student gets his spirit from the late Didi Kempot. "I was told to keep learning by Uncle Didi," said Arda. The 13-year-old 5th grade student of SLB also sang "Ninggal Tatu" in the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert.

A special performance was also presented by Didi Kempot's family. From Staso Prasetyo, Didi Kempot's son who sang the hit song "Cidro", to his wife and their other children, Yan Vellia and Saka, who duetted to sing the song "Bapak". Their performance was accompanied by the live band Lare Jawi under the auspices of Didi Kempot Management specifically for the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert.

Judika Mesmerizes the Audience at Home with His Amazing Voice

Not only family members or close friends who liven up the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert. Several musicians also took part in this special concert. Including one of the singers with an amazing voice, Judika. The Batak blooded pop star also revealed that "Banyu Langit" and "Stasiun Balapan" by Didi Kempot have a deep meaning for him.

"Honestly, I really like 'Banyu Langit', because me and Mas Didi have collaborated on this song." Even though I've reached the level of mastering music, all that's left is to make a music video, but it turns out that God has a different plan," said Judika.

Judika also added that the reason he favors "Stasiun Balapan" is because it has lyrics that make fans feel sad or broken-hearted. He sang both songs with his golden voice and amazing arrangements, which truly make anyone who listens to them feel broken-hearted.

Not only top musicians from the country, the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert also featured local musicians such as Angklung Malioboro performing "Kangen Nickerie", and Rumah Musik Harry Roesly who presented their amazing arrangements of the songs "Cinta Sekonyong-konyong Koder" and "Cucak Rowo".

Messages from Sobat Ambyar Remembering Didi Kempot

Interestingly, amidst the excitement of the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert, videos of impressions and messages from Sobat Ambyar regarding Didi Kempot were also shown. One of them is Jarkiyo. This Sobat Ambyar expressed many things that can be learned from the The Godfather of Brokenheart.

"Didi Kempot truly represents sobat ambyar as the father of broken hearts through his songs, he is very generous. What I remember the most is when we were shooting at Stasiun Balapan, after making the video, he went out of the station and gave his blessings to anyone. Didi Kempot is very humble, he doesn't choose anyone," he said.

A similar impression was also expressed by Didi Kempot's wife, who is commonly called Mbak Putri. "There are several things that cannot be forgotten about him, he is exceptionally kind, a responsible husband, has a high social spirit, and is humble. When he faces failure, he doesn't give up, but keeps trying until he succeeds," she said.

Mbak Putri also revealed that there is one special song by Didi Kempot for her, which is "Layang Kangen". "At that time, my child was still young, there were no adequate means of communication, so we communicated from a distance by writing letters, expressing our longing for each other, and eventually it became the inspiration for Mas Didi to create 'Layang Kangen'."

Tiara Andini Invites the Audience at Home to Break the MURI Record

As a complement, the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert featured a rising young singer, Tiara Andini. Not to mention, the 19-year-old singer expressed her impression of Didi Kempot. According to her, Didi Kempot is a down-to-earth and very kind person.

"I feel very grateful because I brought pakde Didi Kempot's song, until it went viral. Maybe no one knows that I am one of the Sobat Ambyar. I can only sing mellow songs. But, thank God, I can meet pakde, and I had the opportunity to thank him, because thanks to pakde's song, I can be like this now," said Tiara.

Tiara revealed that Didi Kempot also expressed his gratitude to Tiara Andini because regional songs can now be more recognized nationally. "The first time we met, it felt like a father," she added, expressing her impression of Didi Kempot.

Furthermore, Tiara revealed that she was deeply touched by "Sewu Kutho", which reminded her of the late Didi Kempot. Meanwhile, "Tatu" is a song that is very relatable to her personal life. At the end of Tiara Andini's performance, she successfully broke the record for singing together with 3333 fans via Zoom in the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert.

That's the highlight of the excitement of the Merajut Sobat Ambyar concert presented by Tabungan Simpedes Bank BRI. Thanks to this event, Sobat Ambyar reminisces with regional songs with lyrics that touch the heart by Didi Kempot. His body may no longer be here, but his spirit will always be with us through songs that are never tired of being heard and sung throughout time. Thank you for your service and dedication, oh legendary one.
