Bingkai Karya– Synchronize Festival 2024, themed “Together Bersama,” was a three-day event that celebrated Indonesian music across various genres, decades, and countries. The festival aimed to connect all circles and address the country’s unfavorable conditions through Indonesian music. The lineup included Hadad Alwi feat. Sulis Cinta Rasul in the Islamic religious song corridor and Sidney Mohede and Barry Likumahuwa Synchronize Sunday Service in the Christian spiritual song corridor.
The festival began with Cokelat opening the District Stage, followed by Jason Ranti on the Forest Stage. The last day featured a cross-country collaboration between Tohpati and Sheila Majid, who sang nostalgic songs like “Dia” and “Sinaran.” The Dynamic Stage was emotional during Sore and Kawan-Kawan’s performance, with Afgan, Ardhito Pramono, Atilia Haron, Bilal Indrajaya, Cholil Mahmud, Fanny Soegi, Pusakata, Noh Salleh, and Rian Ekky Pradipta performing with sweet memories of Ade Paloh.
The afternoon Gigs Stage was filled with exciting performances from DOM 65, Tasikmalaya’s hardcore group Hardik, and two instrumental performances. The audience took advantage of the afternoon break to relax and move, with DJs playing at Oleng Upuk.
The last day featured unique performances by Barry Likumahuwa, including Synchronize Sunday Service at XYZ Stage and Potlot Jam at Dynamic Stage. Barry Likumahuwa’s Synchronize Sunday Service made Synchronize Festival 2024 more focused on Christian spiritual music than other festivals. Senior Potlot Gang members Anda Perdana, Anang Hermansyah, Bongky Marcel, Ipang Lazuardi, Oppie & BOP, Kidnap Katrina, The Flowers, Imanez’s Otto Jam, and Slank performed “Topeng Monyet” and “Anak Pantai” in memory of Imanez.
