Jakarta hit Brian McKnight is set to make a guest appearance in Surabaya

VIVA – Legendary R&B singer Brian McKnight loves and appreciates Indonesian culture. One of the ways he expressed this feeling was by wearing a batik dress at a press conference in Jakarta, Friday (20/9/2024).

The recording of the press conference before the special concert called “An Evening with Brian McKnight” took place in Surabaya, this Saturday night. This city became a special place for him for his second concert, after his first show in 2018.

This time Brian McKnight is ready to satisfy the enthusiasm of his fans at The Westin Hotel. “This concert promises an unforgettable musical experience with a different concept than before,” said Aksena Nahda, Operations Manager of Avatara Lintas Media.

Brian McKnight, who was wearing a long-sleeved batik shirt produced by Parang Kenkana when meeting the media, said: “I am amazed by the richness of Indonesian culture and I am happy to be able to perform in front of fans in Indonesia again this year.”

Aksena Nahda, who measured the success of Brian McKnight’s concert in Jakarta last night, said: “We are very excited to welcome Brian McKnight to Surabaya.” “Surabaya is ready to welcome the enthusiasm of the public to remember and enjoy the intimate experience of a concert with Brian McKnight,” she said.

According to Aksena Nahda, Avatara wants to show a special and different atmosphere from the concerts in Jakarta. At the concert in Surabaya, she said, there will also be famous disco musicians Diskoria and Afifah, who are ready to present a new atmosphere with different musical genres. “This collaboration gives a special color to the concert series and promises an exciting musical experience for the audience,” she said.

Not only that, he said, this concert will also feature Marklesia Karim, a young and talented musician who graduated from Berklee College of Music. It is hoped that Marklesia will be able to continue Brian McKnight’s music for the younger generation and also bring a new touch to the world of R&B and jazz.

According to Aksena, the concert organizers are still allowing people in and around Surabaya to book tickets immediately at www.avataralintasmedia.id. “Limited tickets will also be issued on the spot (ed.) on the day of the concert at The Westin Ballroom,” he concluded.
