One of the artists who appeared on the first day was dr.Iqhbal.When Iqhbal took to the stage, the audience was immediately immersed in the festive atmosphere of dangdut music.Without much command or command, everyone sang together.Starting from the song ‘Like Dead Lights’ which was popularized by Nassar to Wali’s ‘Emang Basic’.
In general, Global Harmony takes place from November 2 to December 20.In total there are cultural weeks from 14 countries with schedules arranged in rotation.
The selection of the 14 countries was based on the number of workers and citizens in Saudi Arabia.Bangladesh is in first place and Indonesia is among the 14 countries with the largest number of workers in Saudi Arabia.
The aim of Global Harmony is to provide entertainment and fun for workers from each country so they can return to being close to the atmosphere and cultural atmosphere of their home countries.This is to improve the quality of life of workers who are included in the ‘Quality of Life’ program and are part of Saudi Vision 2030.
Apart from treating feelings of homesickness, Global Harmony is also an opportunity for many people to get to know the culture of other countries.Like when Indonesian Cultural Week was held, visitors were not only Indonesian citizens but also many citizens from other countries.
