The General Elections Commission (KPU) introduced Tuesday the official election theme song titled “Ini Pemilu Kita-Saudara Kita Semua (This is Our Election-Brother of Us All) composed by Faizal Motik.
“The song sends a familial message to everyone, reminding them that election is a time for a get-together rather than a fight against each other,” Faizal said Tuesday.
Veteran singer Titiek Puspa helped Faizal arrange the song.
“When Faizal offered me the song, it was only in Bahasa Indonesia. I requested then that the song should be sang in other vernacular languages to show Indonesia’s diversity,” Titiek said,
The composition was written in five local languages: Palembang, Javanese, Batak, Ambon, Betawi. Its closing was written in Bahasa Indonesia. (fmb)
