Despite the significant age difference, both did not have difficulty building chemistry on stage. Iwan Fals even believes that Felicia has strong self-confidence and is able to maintain her vocal character.
"No. Cia did not change my singing style, and she remains herself. That’s what I admire. At first, during the first practice, she might have been a bit awkward, but once
it started once or twice, it was all good," explained Iwan Fals.
Interestingly, the preparation for the performance did not take long. Both admitted to having only one practice session before performing in front of an audience.
"Once practice!" exclaimed Iwan Fals and Felicia simultaneously.
2. Iwan Fals' Prayer for Felicia
For Iwan Fals, the age difference is not an obstacle to creating beautiful music. He emphasizes that in the world of music, there is no difference between seniors and juniors because every musician holds the same position.
"Well, this is the most important thing and perhaps the key. In music, I have often said, there are no seniors and juniors. What exists are A minor, C minor, F major, D major. Thank you! Good luck, Cia!" concluded Iwan Fals. (M Altaf Jauhar)
