The peak of Lokovasia 2024, held at Brawijaya University, became a celebration of Indonesia’s diverse traditional music. Through performances of various musical styles from Sabang to Merauke, this event not only provided entertainment but also conveyed an important message about peace and social inclusion.

These traditional music performances showcased the richness and diversity of Indonesian culture while strengthening the sense of unity among people from different ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. By featuring musicians from various regions, Lokovasia 2024 became an inclusive stage embracing every element of diversity, supporting the goal that emphasizes the importance of peace, justice, and strong institutions.
