The Jakarta Old Town will host a music festival of traditional Portuguese-influenced gambang kromong combined with modern music next week.
The Jakarta Tourism agency will hold the Jakarta Music Festival on Dec. 5, targeting thousands of people for the one-day event to be held from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Tourism agency deputy head Tinia Budiati said the festival would show the diversity of Jakarta's music.
"There will be 8 modern bands, 17 traditional bands and four djs," Tinia said.
There will also be a session for a tribute to the late Betawi comedian and singer Benyamin S., and street children will also perform in the event.
A performance from the band Naif will close the event.
