Selamat datang, YouTube Indonesia!
Thursday, June 14, 2012
Greetings from a very warm Jakarta, where we just announced the opening of a brand new domain for Indonesia at
www.youtube.co.id
to become the 46th country with an official local version of YouTube.
YouTube is already available in the official language Bahasa Indonesia, and now having a Indonesia-specific homepage means we can bring the 237 million citizens the most relevant videos for Indonesians and highlight great content from our local partners such as
Kompas
,
Aquarius Musikindo
,
Nagaswara
,
Trinity
,
GP Records
, and
Musica Studios
.
To celebrate the launch, we had amazing live performances from some of the top Indonesian music acts, such as rockers
Ungu
, male pop vocalist
Vidi Aldiano
, alternative pop band
Nidji
, acoustic singer-songwriter
Sheryl
, female-fronted stadium rockers
Kotak
, singing and dancing boy band
XO-IX
, laid-back funk band
Soul of Magnolia
, and giant idol collective
JKT48
. Here’s a few of these stars and some other special guests:
We’ve already seen new talent in Indonesia using the power of video to build audiences and careers. “Dancing Cop” Briptu Norman turned his popular Bollywood lip-synching video into national fame. Brother-and-sister act
Gamaliel & Audrey
went from covering
Lady Gaga
out of their bedrooms, to complicated
a capella versions of Chris Brown
, to now working in a studio on an album.
If you’re in Indonesia, YouTube will automatically start you on the Indonesia homepage. If you’re out of the country and interested in Indonesian content, just select “Indonesia” in the Location section at the bottom of the page. To all our YouTube viewers and creators from Indonesia and Indonesians around the world, selamat datang!
