The Story Behind JFC's Theme Song: "Tetap Bersama"

When the streets of Jember bloom with costumes, culture, and celebration, there's always one sound that brings it all together: the theme song.

For Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC), a theme song is more than just background music. It is a message, a reminder, a legacy. That legacy echoes through a heartfelt anthem titled "Tetap Bersama", which translates to "Stay Together".

💫 A Song That Carries His Spirit

“Tetap Bersama” is more than a melody. It is a reflection of the soul of Dynand Fariz, the visionary founder of JFC. Known not only for his creative genius but also for his warmth, humility, and belief in togetherness, Dynand was a "unifier", someone who built bridges between people, cities, and cultures through art and fashion.

His values are woven into every lyric:

The belief that creativity has no boundary. That we rise not by competing, but by walking side by side. That we stay together, even after he is gone.

This song is a tribute to that philosophy, to his unwavering spirit that still guides JFC today.

🎶 Crafted from Love, Sung with Purpose

Created by local Indonesian composers and vocalists who worked closely with the JFC creative team, “Tetap Bersama” carries both emotional depth and artistic flair. It begins softly, like a memory, and grows into a crescendo of unity.

From the harmonies to the lyrics, every part of the song reflects Dynand’s dream of a world brought together by beauty, not borders.

It is now sung by hundreds, marched by thousands, and felt by millions.
