Eny is a product of the third KDI, a reality talent search programme in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian artistes said they intend to put on a great show, singing 32 songs, which will not be limited to dangdut tracks alone.

"We will also sing pop rock, slow rock and dangdut rock aside from the original dangdut music," said Imelda, who is a product of the second KDI, together with Andy.

"We hope people will attend our concert not only to be entertained but also to donate," they said.

Tickets are priced at $5 a piece and can be purchased at Afima Express Remittance, Satay Ala Jawa Sengkurong, Asma Hotel, Satay Ala Jawa Sengkurong, Restoran Hj Judin, Kebab Corner Rofi Moll, Gerai No 9 Anggerek Desa, Cafe Jawa Timur, Restoran AH Hanafiah, and Restoran PgJamilah, among others.

Organised by the Association of Indonesian Community (AIC) and Indonesian Workers Cooperative (IWC) with support from main sponsor Afima Express Remittance - official partner of BCA Remittance - the artistes will perform from IOam to 4pm at the JPCC Amphitheatre on Sept 10.

The performance will be backed by local band Orkes Melayu (Dangdut) 'Dendang Satria' Kampung Bunut, led by Cikgu Haji Yahya Haji Mahmud, a retired education officer and renowned musician here.
