Lorjhu' Until Sal Priadi Warms Up BRI Jazz Mountain Series 2 Bromo

Lorjhu' opened the BRI Jazz Gunung Series 2 Bromo with their signature songs. This ethnic rock band from Madura performed Nemor, Lakonah Oreng Manceng, Kembang Koneng, Jhajhan No'Mono'An, Parenduan, Abhantal Ombak, Can Macanan, all of which used the Madurese language. Lorjhu's performance immediately warmed up the atmosphere. The lively music they brought provided an unforgettable new vibe.

After Lorjhu's performance, the Al Jazziyah audience was treated to a stunning act by the Bintang Indriyanto Trio. Performing jazz instruments, the bassist, who has released 20 albums over his 40-year career in the Indonesian music scene, warmed up the increasingly chilly evening atmosphere. Bintang performed 8 songs, from It's Pay Day to Rainbow. He was accompanied by Denny Chasmala, which made his music even more delightful to listen to.

As dusk approached, Natasya Elvira mesmerized the audience with her melodious and soft voice. She performed accompanied by jazz camp participants who had been in BRI Jazz Gunung Series 2 Bromo for a week, practicing daily with mentors. The result was a successful performance by the jazz camp alongside the AMI Awards nominee for Best Female Jazz Singer in 2024. Natasya performed 6 songs, including her own work, So Lucky To Be Young, which is very sweet.

As night approached, Tohpati Ethnomission mesmerized the audience with their best songs. Seven pieces were performed by Tohpati and his band, ranging from Janger to Penjor. Tohpati's performance that night was very special, as it took place exactly one day after he celebrated his birthday on July 25. He also received congratulations from the audience present at the Jiwa Jawa Resort Amphitheater.

After Tohpati's performance, the French band Rouge warmed up the increasingly cold night with their songs. This band is touring Indonesia to commemorate 75 years of diplomatic cooperation between Indonesia and France, one of which is performing at the BRI Jazz Gunung Series 2 Bromo.  They performed 7 soft and solemn songs. Occasionally, the keyboardist greeted the audience in English.

The night grew late, but the enthusiasm of the audience did not diminish and became even warmer with Sal Priadi's performance. Performing 10 songs, including his hit tracks like Gala Bunga Matahari and Kita Usahakan Rumah Itu, Sal successfully got all the audience to sing along. Backstage, Sal revealed that he will be releasing a new song in mid-August. "The title is Malang Suantai Sayang, which is dedicated specifically to the city of Malang," said Sal.

Sal closed the BRI Jazz Gunung Series 2 Bromo by mingling with the audience. The song Dalam Diam made everyone stand up and sing along with the singer from Malang. The BRI Jazz Gunung Series is not over yet. After series 1 and 2 were held in Bromo, series 3 will take place at Gunung Ijen on August 9.
