Ignite Nationalism from an Early Age, Axl Adarsh Introduces Indonesian Presidents Through Songs

Kapanlagi.com - The Covid-19 pandemic has made many sectors sluggish. However, it seems that this does not apply to artists who continue to create with enthusiasm. One of the young singers who released a song in the midst of the pandemic is Axl Adarsh, a 5-year-old kindergarten child.

Axl can be called a little spicy chili. He released a single titled Mau Jadi Presiden (Want to Be President) on Indonesia's Independence Day on August 17, 2021. What's interesting is that the song's release time has its own meaning!

Yes, the song will be released at 7:06 AM, in accordance with Indonesia's 76th year of independence. The hope is that this song can awaken nationalism from an early age.

According to Gracia from Axl Adarsh, the song Mau Jadi Presiden was created by Axl's own father.

"The song was created by his father because Axl Adarsh loves to sing since he was little. I also noticed that Axl always enjoys watching music videos on YouTube, most of which are foreign songs," she said.

Gracia also added, she hopes that this song will add to the collection of children's songs in the country.

"So the hope is that by introducing the song 'Mau Jadi Presiden' (Want to Be the President), it can add to the collection of children's songs in Indonesia, while also learning about the order and names of the Presidents in Indonesia," added Gracia.

If you pay attention to the lyrics of this song, it contains meanings similar to what President Soekarno once said about the ability to dream as high as the sky, and even if it falls, it is still among the stars.

"There is also a way to achieve dreams that have been aspired, which is by eating healthy food and diligently studying and exercising. So the concept is to dream as high as the sky, reflected by becoming a President. Then it is complemented with those concrete ways," concluded Gracia.
