Affirmate supported the development of BARTIGA, a Jakarta based music and cultural hub rooted in groove driven music, through both business development and financial support. The space combines high quality sound, curated programming, and a community focused environment, serving as both a daily music bar and a creative platform.
Founded by a collective of music enthusiasts and led by a dedicated music direction team, BARTIGA was created as a space where sound, culture, and human connection come together.
At the same time, BARTIGA operates as an accessible music bar for everyday use, while also providing a platform where artists and a diverse range of creators can express and showcase their work. Its musical identity is rooted in groove driven music culture, including soul, funk, jazz funk, 80s–90s R&B, and 80s–90s hip-hop, shaping both its daily atmosphere and curated programs.
BARTIGA also serves as a cross-border cultural hub connecting Indonesia and Japan through Jakarta x Tokyo Connection (JTC), a recurring series that brings together artists, DJs, and creative communities from both countries. The first edition of JTC features DJ MURO, one of Japan’s leading figures in rare groove, performing in Indonesia for the first time.
This initiative represents Affirmate’s expansion into the cultural domain, building on its established track record in financial and business cross-border activities, and advancing its role in creating value across capital, business, and culture.
