Samosir Music International (SMI)

Samosir Music International (SMI) is a collaborative music concert featuring international, national, and local artists performing Batak songs in a blend of modern and traditional styles. Carrying an orchestral theme, the festival showcases high-quality musical performances rooted in Batak identity, along with zumba and panortor presentations by local art communities. After years of free entry, SMI now offers a ticketed experience for a more exclusive festival atmosphere. With its grand stage design and cross-cultural collaborations, SMI stands as one of the signature music festivals in Lake Toba.
