International Golo Mori Jazz 2024 Postponed, Caring Steps for the Safety of Natural Disaster Victims in NTT

Kapanlagi.com - The International Golo Mori Jazz 2024 event, originally scheduled for November 16, 2024, must now be postponed. This decision was made by the organizers as a commitment to the safety of all parties involved, including visitors, musicians, and event staff. The postponement takes into account not only the technical aspects and readiness of the event but also the current conditions in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) that have recently been hit by a natural disaster.

In addition to ensuring safety, the event committee also wants to show care and solidarity for the disaster victims in NTT. By postponing this event, the organizers hope to provide space for recovery efforts and further assistance for the affected communities. They are also committed to continuing to support the organization of this event in the future, while ensuring that all parties can enjoy a safe and comfortable jazz celebration.

The natural disaster of the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki that occurred in NTT also impacted transportation to the event location. The closure of Komodo Airport in Labuan Bajo and flight cancellations due to volcanic ash have reduced access to the area. Based on advice from the relevant authorities, postponing this event is considered the best step to ensure the safety of all parties.
