JAKARTA: Singer Anggun C. Sasmi is taking a different approach for her upcoming concert tour – she plans to invite other singers to share the stage with her.
In a series of concerts scheduled to kick off in Yogyakarta on Aug. 1, the singer, who relaunched her singing career in France after her teen-rocker debut, will collaborate with different singers at each concert of the Anggun: Indonesia Road Show 2009.
“As a singer of the earlier generation, I am proud to see the quality of young singers in Indonesia,” Anggun said, as quoted by entertainment Website kapanlagi.com on Thursday.
In her opening show in Yogyakarta, she will perform with singer-songwriter Glenn Fredly. Rossa will accompany Anggun in Bali.
Other co-stars for the other shows include Pingkan Mambo in East Java’s Surabaya, Bunga Citra Lestari in West Java’s Bandung and Ello in North Sumatra’s Medan.
“BCL [Bunga Citra Lestari] is charming and offers a complete package,” Anggun said. “As for Ello, I just love his songs. Glenn is also a quality musician, as are Rossa and Pingkan [Mambo].”
In her roadshow, Anggun plans to insert a short monologue that narrates the story of her musical career. — JP
