The clip is part of a full video of Filla Talia’s performance with ONE NADA. It has amassed more than 20 million views since it was uploaded a month ago. This brought him to the Palace to celebrate the Independence Day with other musicians such as Vidi Aldiano and Lyodra.
Farel’s performance made Agus “Abah Lala” Purwanto, the writer of Ojo Dibandingke, shed emotional tears. Abah Lala said he was very proud because his song was performed in front of President Jokowi.
