KAWANKUHeating up the stage of Bentara Budaya in Jakarta on Wednesday night with their newly fused music, Bondan and his friends launched their latest album For All in a concert they dedicated to the legendary keroncong maestro Gesang, who died last month.
“We want keroncong to become popular again,” Bondan told detik.com during his mini concert titled ‘A Tribute to Gesang’. “We already have our own song Keroncong Protol, so we thought why not let people hear it [first] in a concert?” he added.
In the mini concert, Bondan and friends performed a duet with keroncong group Tugu, performing 12 Bondan’s songs — old and new — with a keroncong twist.
“We hope what we’re doing will help preserving keroncong,” Bondan said, “[preserving keroncong] was Gesang’s last wish when we visited him in 2008,” he added
