Fun presented by Leo Kristi with perforated guitar melenakan dipangkuannya indeed, at once touching. Musician ballads such as Franky Sahilatua, Iwan Fals, and Doel Donates has knowingly reconciled with the market so more than well off financially. Leo Kristi remain faithful to the track, vagrancy and in direct contact with the lives of ordinary people in the creative process of its creation. So, with ballads laden with lyrics of patriotism and love, he still inflame the fighting spirit.
