Slank, has been an inspiration for Indonesians not just in music, but also a wide range of topics like drugs, social, and government accountability. Bunda Iffet, Slank’s manager and the mother of the band’s drummer, sits down with one of TEDxJakarta’s curators to share how motherhood can transform into strong skills that can be applied even in managing rock legends. Iffet Veceha Sidharta, or mostly known as Bunda Iffet, is the current manager of Indonesia’s most celebrated rock band, Slank. Also as the mother of Bimbim (Slank’s drummer), Bunda stepped in to manage on the brink of the band’s downfall. Without a formal experience in music management, Bundaâ€"as what people commonly address herâ€"has greatly shaped the band by being a ‘mother’ of all five members. Since her involvement, Slank becomes not just a force to be reckon with in global music world, but role-models to its audience and many emerging bands in Indonesia particularly in issues such as drug addiction, corruption and political transparency. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
