JOGJAKARTA — Last September, Tantowi Yahya hummed while telling stories in a concert titled “Tantowi Yahya-Singing The Songs He Grew Up With” at the Djakarta Theatre Ballroom. In just a month since it was announced, the invitations were sold out. The audience stayed for more than 3 hours and were satisfied with what Tantowi and the Thomshell Band presented.
Hoping to repeat this success, on August 3, Tantowi will again hold a Solo Concert titled “Tantowi Yahya: 25 Year Musical Journey” at the Imperial Ballroom, The Rich Hotel Yogyakarta. This concert is packaged very specially by presenting many surprises.
“Just wait and see what it’s like. What is certain is that it will be very different,” said Tantowi to a number of media crews at Telsi Bar, The Rich Hotel, Saturday (6/7/2024).

In his concert in Yogyakarta, Tantowi will be accompanied by Thomsel Band and will perform 20 songs from several albums that he has recorded. However, Tantowi emphasized that the concert he will perform is not just a music stage, but there will be many stories of memories during his time studying in Jogja in the 80s.
“Although I didn’t live in Jogja for long, this city has taught me many things. It even changed my behavior to be very Javanese. ” said the former Indonesian Ambassador to New Zealand.
For that reason, Tantowi hopes that his first solo concert in Jogja will be attended by lovers of beautiful songs from the 60s to 80s. “My childhood, childhood and adolescence were filled with beautiful songs from famous singers of that era.
In the entertainment world, Tantowi is known not only as a singer, but also as a reliable presenter and TV host. As a singer, he has released 11 albums and as a host has presented a number of events and game shows. Some of them are popular until now such as Who Wants To be A Millionaire and Country Road.

Meanwhile, General Manager of The Rich Hotel Terra Bendrix Putra said, Tantowi Yahya Concert is one of The Rich’s Featured Programs. Therefore, later this concert will be packaged very differently from the usual music concerts held at The Rich Hotel.
“Later, besides watching the concert, guests and audiences can also meet directly with the artist, so this concert becomes a kind of very exclusive private concert,” said Terra. (*/Sulist Ds)
