“By hosting this event, we aim to unite citizens of the Nusantara (maritime Southeast Asia) region irregardless of their differing ages, ethnicity or cultural heritage, in a fun, welcoming and exciting dance festival,” expressed Adnan.
“Dugem, which originates from Indonesia, has made inroads into Malaysia since 2014 and has fast become a phenomena in Malaysia over the years,” added Adnan.
“We regularly do events at KL Base but this is the very first time we are doing a Dugem event, and we look forward to your support to make it a successful one,” chipped in event organiser Abu Bakar.
“The rain or shine open air festival will begin from 3.00 pm and will end at 1.00 am, and will feature an incredible line up of international and local artistes,” shared Adnan.
