ME- Band short for Mewa and Medley Band, is a scratch band formed by a group of musician to support Mewa on her performance. The founder of this scratch band are Mewa (singer ), Daud (Bas), Naufal (guitar), Eddy Manurung (Guitar ) and Ivo (Keyboard). A true combination of musical talent formed only a week before the event. The link above is a sneak peek of their ultra short practice.
Apart from Mewa, they are not a professional group band, their main occupation ranging from students who are studying different fields of education, employees and self employed.
We are proud to have them performing for our festival. Their music mainly plays traditional songs in medley. Some of the songs they will sing at the event are: Ini Dia Si jali Jali, Apuse, Dondong Opo Salak and Kebyar Kebyar…and many more.
