JAKARTA: Pop sensation Bunga Citra Lestari is still astounded she will be sharing the stage with world-class diva Anggun C. Sasmi in a concert.
"I can't believe I got such a chance to collaborate with Anggun in her concert," says the 26-year-old actress-turned-singer.
"I'm very honored and proud. It's a big challenge for me too, because I feel a bit nervous," she laughs.
Bunga will share the stage with Anggun during the diva's concert in Bandung, West Java, in November. Singers Glenn Fredly, Ello, Rossa and Pinkan Mambo will also collaborate with Anggun in other cities - Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Medan and Denpasar.
"Anggun has been my idol ever since I was in primary school. She's my inspiration," says the wife of Malaysian actor Ashraf Sinclair. "There are many things I can learn from her. Anggun just never forgets Indonesia despite her international reputation."
Bunga says she's preparing two songs for the big moment, but not alone.
"I'm still discussing the songs with mbak Anggun," she says.
And in the meantime, she has a lot of other work to do too.
Not only does Bunga want the songs to fit both her and Anggun, she also wants her overall stage performance, and her physical appearance, to be perfect. That's why, she says laughing, "I'll be dieting!" - JP
