"I am currently promoting the culture of Eastern Indonesia. Especially Papua. So yesterday I highlighted the Papua dialect, there was also a collaboration with a Papua rapper. I just released a single last month, titled Tra Usah Pikir," said Nowela on Trans TV, South Jakarta, Monday (7/9/2020).

2. International Level

Nowela said, through this song she wants to elevate Papua's culture to an international level.

"I think in the industry, there are rarely those who elevate regional ethnicities. Papua is strongly ingrained in me. So, I think it's time for me to bring Papua to a different level, nationally or even internationally," she said.

3. Inspiration for Creating

With the song Tra Usah Pikir, Nowela hopes that there will be other singers who will elevate their respective regions through their songs.

"If you look at my YouTube channel, even my photoshoots and everything are themed around Papua. The makeup, the hair, everything is styled in a small braid. I hope in the future, it won't just be Papua, but the eastern part of Indonesia in general," Nowela concluded.
