This is not the first time PERWIRA has embraced other ethnic communities in its cultural events.

According to PERWIRA’s President Diana Lestari, this approach demonstrates PERWIRA's role in building a cohesive multicultural society.

For a moment, we hope you'll be able to forget your worries, anxieties, or life's difficulties, if any, and enjoy the blend of Dangdut and Bollywood music. Refresh your mind and body by dancing and singing.
