Singer Judika will take the stage at Crossborder Atambua Festival in Atambua on Dec. 1.

The concert will be located at Simpang Lima Atambua, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and is aiming to attract international tourists from neighboring country, Timor Leste. 

“Atambua is the closest area with Timor Leste and is the entrance gate of Mota’ain checkpoint that connects Indonesia and Timor Leste,” explained Tourism Ministry’s archipelago tourism marketing development deputy Esthy Reko Astuti.

Esthy said that the reason the Ministry is bringing Judika is because the people of Timor Leste are quite familiar with the singer’s singles such as “Bukan Dia Tapi Aku” (Not Him but Me), “Mama Papa Larang” (Mother, Father Don’t Allow) and “Akulah Yang Tersakiti,” (I’m the One Who Got Hurt).

“Other than Judika, there will be dangdut singer from Timor Leste named Maria Vitoria who is an alumnus of Dangdut Academy Asia, Atambua’s local artists and a few performances from Taruna Mandiri High School and GSNF.
