Swing septet from Jakarta, Leonardo & His Impeccable Six have released their newest single “Hari Kita” in conjunction with Christmas celebration this year. They describe the single as “a gorgeous swing track, urban, covered in the breeze of citrus cologne”. This single marks Leonardo Ringo’s return in writing songs in Indonesian, since he declared publicly back in 2001 that he would not be writing songs in Indonesian again for it was deemed too corny and outdated. Magically, Christmas has brought the singer, guitarist slash radio announcer, to release the Indonesian single which sound pretty cool in our opinion. The single starts off with a mellow Motown sound, then on 30 second marks the tempo changed into something more jolly and uplifting to suit the joyous Christmas feel. Leonardo Ringo’s low and heavy voice sounds as merry as ever and paired with singalong and the sound of clattering sound of glasses, it has brought us to recall a festive holiday feast.
