The chemistry backstage has felt strong since the workshop session. That’s where the musicians got to know the stories behind the songs, and the camaraderie grew even stronger. According to Idgitaf, the small moments in the creative process are what make the interaction on stage more lively and genuine. Many spontaneous and interesting things happen, including exchanging insights about music, even outside of rehearsal sessions. The SAMA SAMA Tour also serves as a space to celebrate the diversity of voices on the Indonesian music stage.

For Kunto Aji, the collaboration process in this tour becomes a very personal and reflective experience. Accustomed to working individually, writing and arranging by himself, he feels that this collaboration opens up new spaces for more open learning. For him, the meaning of "SAMA SAMA" is not just being in the same place or having similar goals, but about how each individual lowers their ego and unites in one harmony.

Dere is very enthusiastic about performing with musicians he admires, even performing some of their songs. He engages in many discussions and rehearsals to perform in various formats while maintaining his musical identity. The moment he looks forward to the most is when the five of them perform together, a celebration of their journey and togetherness throughout the tour.

3. Collaboration of Artistic Identity

The collaboration in this tour becomes a process of rediscovering the meaning of the songs because Sal Priadi believes that the meaning of a song is never final; it always changes depending on who voices it. The SAMA SAMA tour is not just a one-way performance, but a space full of stories, where everyone present, both musicians and audience, becomes part of the same narrative.

Under the creative direction of director Nuya and Farras from Jakarta Movin, with Yoseph Sitompul and Enrico Octaviano as music directors, this performance is packaged to create memorable moments that unite the beauty of arrangement, flow, visuals, with the power of musical arrangements. They collaborate artistic identities among musicians to complement each other into a new artistic form that can support the dynamics of the SAMA SAMA tour stage.

Novry Hetharia, Director of PT Expo Indonesia Jaya (ExpoIndo) as the promoter, and Riri Muktamar, CEO of Tiga Dua Satu, expressed hope that this seriously and artistically produced collaboration tour can become an important step and contribute towards a more innovative performance industry.
