Hi… I want to do this
essay assignment from my beautiful
English teacher Miss Silvana, I want to say thanks for this essay
assignment before.. thank you so much miss. Now I want to write about Java Jazz
Festival, I do not know much about this event so I took this assignment from several sources .
Java jazz festival is
one of the biggest jazz festival in the world, this festival is held in early
March each year in Jakarta, It
was held for the first time in 2005 so now java jazz festival was ten years
old. This festival is not only present jazz musicians but there are also
musicians from another music genre like hip hop, R&B and reggae. Many
famous international jazz musician came to this festival like James
Brown, Earth, Wind & Fire, Eric
Benet, Bubi Chen, and Angie
Stone in 2006 but actually I don’t know
about them and there were many local jazz musician like Maliq & D'Essentials, Marcell,
Ten 2 Five, Ruth Sahanaya and many more, and I like listening their song
specially for Maliq & D’Essentials and Ten 2 Five. According to this festival official account
more than 67.000 visitors came to this festival for three days in 2006, I think this is great festival with great
musician too.
Initiator of this event
is Peter Frans Gontha,
he was born in Semarang,May 4 1948. He is a son of the couple V Willem Gontha and Alice. He is one of the success businessman
in Indonesia, now he has many corporation like Plaza
Indonesia Realty (The
Grand Hyatt Jakarta), Bali
Intercontinental Resort, Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI), Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV), PT Chandra Asri Indonesia, PT Tri Polyta Indonesia, Firstmedia, and Indovision wow rich man. Peter Frans Gontha inspired to create this
event from him experience, he was always going to Europe to watch jazz concert
so he want to make jazz concert in Indonesia and Indonesian people don’t need
to go abroad, so I think we can take the spirit of him and make something great
like him make this great festival.

Java
jass festival could be a promotion for tourism in Indonesia so the government
get the provit from this event. This year java jazz sponsored by Clear Shampoo
and this year java jazz use batik theme, all singer and musician wearing batik
so this is pride for us, Indonesian people. Now I am confused what to write anymore, I swear I am confused.
This musical
events that became the pride of Indonesia is supported by several loyal sponsors
such as First Media, BNI Bank, Garuda Indonesia, the Ministry of Tourism and
Creative Economy, the Ministry of Commerce, and others. I hope this event can
continue to be held because I think this event is the good way to promote
Indonesia. But I think some of us including me didn’t know what is jazz, we
just enjoyed the music without know what is jazz.
Jakarta
International Java Jazz 2014 have another event that event called Sound Fair it
will held on October 24 – 26, 2014 and the guest star is Magic! Band
that mixed reggae, pop, rock and a little soul as their genre is one of the
famous newcomer artist today, and their song “Rude” is famous among
teens, and I like their song too, I hope I can go to Jakarta and watch their
performances, I hope….. Miss Sil maybe
you want to go there? If you want, can you treat me? :D
I hope
we as the young generation can make something good creation for Indonesia maybe
with music, make a great event like Java Jazz without forgetting our culture or
we can mixed the modern music with our traditional music and local culture, so
we can reduce negative behavior among the teens with positive activity. Be good
generation for a good country. Fighting!!
I’m

Jazz, so I retrieve data from the Internet, but I translate this assignment by
my self and my friend helped me to find the word, I hope I can be more active
