Jerinx Appreciates the Presence of Singaraja Fest, Gives Space for Local Musicians

Kapanlagi.com - The Singaraja Fest held at Keramas Aero Park on May 27, 2023, received appreciation from I Gede Ari Astina or commonly known as Jerinx or JRX. According to him, Singaraja Fest is a wise festival.

This event is quite different from other festivals. Because they provide a large space for Bali's local heroes to perform. Rajawali Ingkar Janji, Jun Bintang & The Strongking, Kis Band, Lolot, Scared of Bums, Bagus Wirata, and Joni Agung & Double T were the main performers at this event.

"Singaraja Fest, in my perspective, is very wise in the context of prioritizing local bands to be able to perform at festivals like this," said JRX when met at Singaraja Fest, Saturday (5/27).

"Whereas most festivals with the same caliber as this are usually dominated by national bands," he added.

As one of the senior musicians in Bali, JRX apparently also recommended one of the Bali bands to perform at this festival.

"There was one band that I recommended to the Singaraja team. And finally, they were invited, but even if I didn't recommend them, the band would have been invited anyway because they are very popular in Bali. From the age demographic, they are suitable for Singaraja's target," he said.

2. Many Famous Bands

Besides Jakarta, Bali has always been one of the cities that frequently holds festivals. According to JRX, the enthusiasm of the audience in Bali for a festival is immense. Especially this year, when the pandemic ends. In addition to local bands performing, Singaraja Fest also features some big names. Parade Hujan, Kangen Band, Gigi, Tipe X, and also SID entertained the audience who were present.

"When the pandemic has 'ended', finally everyone celebrates, they need healing. Almost three years they have been 'imprisoned' and not allowed to do anything, not allowed to go far away. Now they can express all their pent-up feelings," JRX closed.
