Unlimited Professionalism! Mahalini Still Performs at Bangor Fest Despite Losing Her Voice

Kapanlagi.com - Singer Mahalini once again showed her dedication on stage. Performing at Bangor Fest Vol. 4 at Stadion Madya, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Saturday (8/8/2026), Mahalini still delivered her best performance despite not being in optimal physical condition.

The hit song performer even lost her voice a few days before the show due to a viral attack. This condition required Mahalini to receive medical treatment and undergo therapy to help recover her vocal condition before taking the stage.

Nevertheless, Mahalini chose to honor the schedule that had been agreed upon long in advance. She did not want to disappoint the promoter or the thousands of fans who had come and were looking forward to her performance.

Mahalini admitted to being very happy to see the enthusiasm of the audience at Bangor Fest Vol. 4. In fact, the hot weather enveloping the Senayan area did not dampen the spirits of the audience to sing along until the end of her performance.

"I was really happy earlier, of course, I was very happy to see everyone here in the scorching heat, even though it was quite hot this afternoon, the air was quite stuffy, but all my friends who watched together were excited to watch and stayed until the end," Mahalini expressed after her performance.

"The enthusiasm was amazing, everyone was singing along together," she continued.

However, health conditions forced Mahalini to adjust the duration of her performance. If she usually performs more songs, this time she only sang eight songs to keep her vocal condition in check.

"It was eight songs if I'm not mistaken. But today, since I’m not feeling well, I performed eight songs," said Mahalini.

Before performing, Mahalini also underwent a medical procedure she referred to as "voice injection". According to her, the procedure was quite painful, but it greatly helped her vocal condition after she had lost her voice a few days earlier.

"You know, work is usually scheduled well in advance. So I had to maximize it as much as possible; before coming here, I had the injection, I had the voice injection. If singers usually tell their doctors they need a voice injection, they already know what the doctor is going to give them." Well, that really helped me today to get my voice out compared to yesterday," Mahalini explained.

2. For Mahalini, Festivals Are a Place to Unwind

For Mahalini, performing at a music festival is not just about doing a job. The festival stage becomes a place for her to channel various emotions while also unwinding after her daily routine.

"I really love festivals. Because festivals can express my heart, whether I'm feeling sad or happy at the festival, I feel like I can release everything that's in my heart, I can let go of all the daily fatigue that I’m experiencing, and I can pour that out at the festival. So I feel like I meet new friends, meet the audience, that makes me happy, and when I go home, work feels meaningful," she explained.

The enthusiasm of the audience also makes Mahalini's struggle on stage feel even more significant. Even though she has to face less-than-ideal physical conditions, she can still enjoy the moment of singing with her fans.

For Mahalini, the energy from the audience is one of the reasons she continues to enjoy the world of performance. Music is not just a job, but also a space to express feelings and connect with the people who come to watch her performances.
