THE 2024 Ramadhan Jazz Festival, which is entering its 13th year of implementation, will be held March 29-30 2024 at the Cut Meutia Mosque Platform, Menteng, Central Jakarta. This time the Ramadhan Jazz Festival is selling tickets allocated to Palestinians in need.
Chairman of the Cut Meutia Mosque (Ricma) Islamic Youth Muhammad Ridho Dafiutomo, in his speech, said, “In Indonesia, harmony comes from Unity, either way, Unity also comes from Harmony. This is the theme of this year’s Ramadhan Jazz Festival. And we are working together with the Palestinian Embassy in Jakarta for distribution of donations this year.”
WartaJazz representative Agus Setiawan Basuni said, “Thank God, Allah SWT still gives us the age to be able to meet again with the month full of wisdom and present the Ramadhan Jazz Festival. This is the only Jazz Festival held in the month of Ramadan, in the Mosque Courtyard, and organized by young people.”
Muhammad Pradana Indraputra, who represented the Cut Meutia Mosque Foundation Management, in his speech said, “The Ramadhan Jazz Festival is not only an innovative form of da’wah but also reflects harmony and a new face for Indonesia in the future and helps our brothers and sisters in Palestine.”
Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno appreciated the implementation of the Ramadhan Jazz Festival, “This deserves to be a National Event”.
He then invited the entire audience to pray together and closed it with the poem “The fragrance of a burst of roses, the beating of drums like a carnival. Let your Ramadhan be blessed, let’s donate at the Ramadhan Jazz Festival”.
