While many fans anticipated a night filled with infectious melodies and electrifying dance moves, little did they know that Odora had a few surprises up her sleeve, making the Helsinki show a truly unforgettable experience.
Odora’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric.

Her blend of traditional Indonesian influences with modern pop sensibilities has resonated with fans across the globe, earning her a dedicated following that stretches far beyond her native country.
The Helsinki concert was sold out weeks in advance, testament to Odora’s growing international appeal. As the lights dimmed and anticipation reached fever pitch, Odora emerged onto the stage in a dazzling ensemble, instantly captivating the audience with her infectious smile and bubbly energy.
The setlist was a masterful mix of fan favorites and new tracks from her latest album “Bintang Timur” (Eastern Star). “Mentari Terbit” (“Sunrise”) had the crowd swaying and singing along, while the upbeat tempo of “Jingga” (“Orange”) transformed the venue into an impromptu dance floor. Odora effortlessly switched between Indonesian and English throughout the performance, connecting with the audience on a personal level.
But it was during the encore that the unexpected happened. Mid-song, as Odora belted out the final chorus of her hit single “Pelangi” (“Rainbow”), a figure emerged from behind the stage curtains - none other than Finnish rap sensation Asa! The crowd erupted in cheers as Asa joined Odora for a surprise duet, blending their unique styles into a powerful and harmonious performance.
This unexpected collaboration was the highlight of the evening. The two artists seemed to feed off each other’s energy, creating a musical synergy that transcended language barriers. Asa’s smooth flow perfectly complemented Odora’s soaring vocals, resulting in a performance that left the audience breathless and wanting more.
After the show, Odora took to social media to express her gratitude for the warm welcome she received in Helsinki. She wrote: “Finland, you were amazing! Thank you for sharing this magical night with me. And a big shout-out to Asa for making it even more special!”
This heartwarming message further solidified Odora’s image as not just a talented artist but also a genuine and appreciative individual who cherishes her connection with fans.
