TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) commemorates the National Music Day which coincides with the birthday of national hero and the national anthem songwriter, Wage Rudolf Soepratman. Through his Twitter account, Jokowi expressed his joy towards the celebration.

He hoped national music will be preserved. "Hopefully the existence of national music will be more acknowledged in the global world," Jokowi tweeted today, Friday, March 9.

Jokowi said the national music is in line with the Indonesian nation. Both are diverse, yet well along in harmony.

For him, music is the spice of life. "Life is flat without music," he said. A video posted by Jokowi showed he was enjoying music through mobile phones, drumming his fingers on the table.

In the video, Jokowi mentioned about the first Indonesian Music Conference held on March 7-9, 2018 in Ambon. He hoped Indonesian people keep fighting for national music as to be recognized by the world.
