Renowned Indonesian guitarist and composer Tohpati has teamed up with Mario G. Klau to reintroduce “Jejak Langkah yang Kau Tinggal.”
The guitarist co-wrote the song with Erros Chandra more than two decades ago. It was later popularized by the late Glenn Fredly.
Tohpati Chose Mario G. Klau for His Vocal Character
Tohpati’s decision to collaborate with Mario G. Klau was far from random.
Mario has built a reputation for his distinctive vocal style. He also shares the same Eastern Indonesian roots as Glenn Fredly.
According to Tohpati, that shared background helped preserve the song’s emotional soul.
He said he has always admired Mario’s vocal character and believed the singer could carry the same spirit that made the original version so memorable.
The guitarist also felt Mario delivered a fresh interpretation without losing the emotional essence that has resonated with listeners for years.
After hearing the first demo, he was immediately impressed by the singer’s heartfelt performance and personal touch.
