The presentation about this program is scheduled at:

Geography is all about Earth and phenomena occur within. Due to its approaches –spatial, ecological, and regional complex-, Geography becomes a holistic and dynamic science. Environmental problems such as natural disasters are now become the most happening issues in the world. Oftentimes disaster cannot be delayed or rejected but the risk can be reduced. Geography can answer the main question about location, process, and also how to reduce the risk of disaster.

One of the most popular environmental issues is climate change. Green House Gases (GHG) actually has a positive function which is to warn the Earth’s temperature. Without GHG, it is extremely low, while with the abundance of GHG in the atmosphere it increases significantly. This abundance was born as the consequence of people’s effort in achieving their welfare and prosperity through several economic activities. Agriculture intending to deforest decreases the population of carbon dioxide absorbers, cattle and poultry husbandries release methane, sulfur oxide, and nitro oxide, while industry and transportation contribute Freon and carbon dioxide.

The global temperature increase in a very long period associates with the birth of climate change. Season shifts, more frequent extreme precipitation, drought, even increasing intensity of tropical cyclone become the footprints of climate change impacts all around the world. Developed countries in Europe have invented environmentally friendly technology without decreasing the economic activities which support their people’s life. On the contrary, the developing countries, such as Indonesia, still prioritize their energy and time to increase and distribute evenly the people’s welfare. Thus, similar technology is far beyond reach.

This condition doesn’t mean to represent the loss of Indonesia in war against the impact of climate change, but its obligation to improve all environmentally friendly acts which are simple and can be implemented by each of its citizen. The compilation of these acts is realized under the event named Geography International Symposium (GIS) 2012 which themed Adaptation Toward Climate Change for Sustainability. It is organized by BEM KM Fakultas Geografi UGM, as the host of GIS 2012, and Ikatan Mahasiswa Geografi Indonesia (IMAHAGI) which includes academic session, socio-cultural session, and regional meeting in order to increase the understanding of and unite the efficient and significant ideas of climate change of each of Indonesian and other countries’ participants.

“ALMA PORTEŇA” merupakan sebuah konser yang akan diselenggarakan oleh Universtitas Gadjah Mada di bawah Kantor Urusan Internasional dan bekerjasama dengan Gadjah Mada Chamber Orchestra (GMCO). Konser ini akan diselenggarakan pada hari Kamis, 22 Desember 2011 pukul 19.00 di Auditorium Fakultas Kedokteran UGM.

Konser musik dengan nuansa tango ini akan dimeriahkan oleh pemain flute ternama asal Argentina, Eduardo Tami. Eduardo Tami sendiri akan membawakan beberapa buah lagu andalannya seperti ‘La Casita De MisViejos’, ‘Otono Portena’, ‘Rhapsodia Portena No. 2’ dan masih banyak lagi. Dalam lagu Adios Nonino, beliau akan di iringi oleh GMCO. Nuansa modern tango sebagai aliran musik Eduardo akan memberikan warna yang sedikit berbeda dalam pagelaran Orkestra pada umumnya. Di samping itu Eduardo Tami bersama GMCO akan memainkan lagu tradisional Indonesia.

“ALMA PORTEŇA” atau “Sound of Argentina” merupakan salah satu wadah pertukaran budaya Argentina dan Indonesia. Melalui salah satu wujud budaya Argentina, yaitu musik tango diharapkan dapat lebih mengeratkan hubungan Indonesia dengan Argentina. Argentina merupakan salah satu negara di kawasan Amerika Latin yang memiliki kemiripan karakter dengan Indonesia. Argentina dan Indonesia sama-sama negara yang masyarakatnya terdiri dari beberapa identitas dan kedua negara berkembang ini merupakan negara yang memiliki capaian pesat dalam bidang ekonomi politik. Kedua negara bisa saling mempelajari mengenai keunggulan negara satu sama lain. Di samping itu, dengan perkenalan budaya yang digelar melalui konser kolaborasi ini dapat mendorong people to people contact antara masyarakat Indonesia dengan Argentina. Semoga adanya konser kolaborasi ini dapat membuka jalan kerjasama antar kedua negara yang lebih erat dan dinamis.

Dalam konser kolaborasi ini, turut mendukung pula Sociedad Indonesia para America Latina (SIpAL) atau Komunitas Indonesia untuk Amerika Latin yang berada di bawah Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Politik Universitas Gadjah Mada yang akan menggelar pameran mengenai Amerika Latin.

Eduardo Tami juga menunjukkan ketertarikannya pada perkembangan musik di Indonesia, khususnya di Jogja. Ini adalah pertama kalinya Eduardo Tami datang ke Jogja dan sempat ikut memeriahkan ‘Jazz Mben Senen’ dalam ulang tahunnya yang kedua bersama sejumlah musisi Jogja.
