"This shows that the Seribu Islands are equivalent to the mainland. I hope it can be a routine agenda every year," he expressed, Wednesday (11/8).

"Hopefully, this festival, which is attended by six sub-districts, can represent the Seribu Islands in band music competitions on the mainland. By so, art in this region would become increasingly famous and exist.

"Hopefully, the music band can entertain locals and tourists," he hoped.

Seribu Islanda Culture Sub-agency Head, Tony Bako added this festival had the theme of Heroes' Day. It was recorded that eight bands from six island residents were involved in this activity.

The eight bands consist of Audiopati from Tidung Island, Lucky Jav from Untung Jawa Island, Konstantinovel from Kelapa Island, Monster Bumi and Umbrella Band from Payung Island, Purbaya Band and Galuh Kutai from Pramuka Island and Bright Band from Panggang Island.

"They are required to perform two songs consisting of one mandatory national song and one chosen song," he explained.

Thus far, the Seribu slands have always invited bands from the mainland. Meanwhile, many of the young generation on the island were also interested in the art of music.
