Longtime singer Harvey Malaiholo said that he is planning to sing a song written by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono entitled “Harmoni yang Indah” (Beautiful Harmony).

He will sing the song in September for the Multimedia Tembang Harmoni concert in Jakarta.

A number of artists from various eras will be singing songs by local legends like Koes Plus, Gombloh and Eros Djarot.

Harvey said that he is concerned with the current generation’s lack of familiarity with various legendary local musicians.

“I asked a few young people, and they apparently have no idea who Bing Slamet, Sam Samiun, Pranajaya and Bram Titaley are” he said, citing several musicians who have had their fair share of the spotlight in the past.
