Kapanlagi.com - Campursari singer Didi Kempot passed away on Tuesday (5/5/2020) at Kasih Ibu Hospital, Solo City, Central Java. Of course, this sad news surprised everyone, from musicians, politicians, celebrities, to entertainment journalists in the country.

The singer, whose full name is Didi Prasetyo, passed away at the age of 53. Throughout his life, he was known as a campursari singer who was dubbed The Godfather of Broken Heart. His works were loved by people of all ages, from the elderly to young children.

Now, Didi Kempot is no longer with us, but his works will always be remembered and legendary. However, after the passing of Didi Kempot, are there any other campursari singers who can follow in his footsteps? Bens Leo, a renowned music observer from the country, voiced his opinion.

1. New Generation in the World of Campursari Music

According to Bens, there are several young campursari singers who are also quite phenomenal. Unfortunately, Bens couldn't remember the names of those singers. He only mentioned that the young singer came from Ngawi, East Java.

"Actually, in Ngawi, there is also a new generation, I forgot the name, who. Later, if you google something like campur sari ala Didi Kempot, the person's name from Ngawi will appear. This person is still young, if I'm not mistaken, they are still in their 20s," said Bens Leo, to KapanLagi.com, on Tuesday (5/5/2020).

"Well, when he appeared in an interview on TV, including on Tukul Arwana's show, he said, 'I can sing campursari like mas Didi Kempot because I want to continue his legacy'," continued Bens Leo.

From Bens' perspective, the person he referred to has great potential to continue Didi Kempot's legacy. Because, they have equally good quality and their style is very similar to the late Didi Kempot's.

"This person will be the successor of people's fondness for campursari songs from sobat ambyar. So far, sobat ambyar has been very fond of Didi Kempot, after this figure passed away, they will look for a replacement. That will be continued by those people. I don't know about other cities, but this person is the most popular, from Ngawi. This person will be the successor, their style is similar to Didi Kempot, their music has the same vibe as Didi Kempot," he concluded.
