”Abang jago! Sorry bang jago! Ampun bang jago!” (Big brother Master! Sorry, big brother master! Forgive me, big brother master!) And the world dances to the beat of electronic music, as if immersing all its problems in the 16 bars of siren and whistle sounds blended with bass and drums. With this song, two musicians from Bitung, North Sulawesi, Jonathan Dorongpangalo (23) and Everly Salikara (22), succeeded in making millions of citizens in the real and virtual world dance.
At first, "Ampung abang jago "–means “Forgive me, big brother master” in English–was just a term used by players of PUBG, Mobile Legends, Garena Free Fire, and other online games to praise or mock each other. This phrase has become increasingly popular after appearing in a song entitled "Ampun Bang Jago", a land disco typical of North Sulawesi, which was released on September 12, 2020.
