11A: Opera di Galaksi Palapa”

“’BA-11A: Opera di Galaksi Palapa’ is a realization of Galaksi Palapa. Three Astronauts roam around the universe and found a new galaxy. They finally have an emergency landing in a strange planet called BA-11A. In that planet they played all the songs from Galaksi Palapa,” said Hasbi through the press release.
Meanwhile, John Paul Patton said that through “BA- 11A: Opera di Galaksi Palapa”, Kelompok Penerbang Roket wants to provide a new way to enjoy Galaksi Palapa. He also added, “’BA-11A: Opera di Galaksi Palapa’ created from the desire to objectify a
fantasy with a strong visualization to define the meaning of the songs. And beside that, we never make a live session before. So I think this is the right moment for it.”
