*PROUD OF INDONESIA*
Indonesia = Diversity.
Explain further, I can say that Indonesia has so many cultures, traditions, languages, ethnics, religions, traditional dances, and not to forget, traditional musics.
If I'm not mistaken, Indonesia is very famous for its traditional instrument and also music, which is Gamelan (Google it for more details) overseas.
You only know Gamelan? Well, you definitely don't know anything about Indonesia traditional music!
Angklung, the instrument that I'm going to blog about right now, is also one of the famous traditional music here in Indonesia. I even joint an Angklung orchestra when I was in primary school, haha!
Located in West Java - Indonesia, Bandung is one of the best places to watch Angklung music show, Live from the stage!
Established in 1966, Saung Angklung Udjo hope that they can bring Angklung as a beautiful traditional music and art proudly from Indonesia.
It's located in the middle of the citizen's house, and you can ask people around to guide you into this location. There's also a sign along the way so you won't get lost.
When you arrived here, you'll found out that there are so many people, especially foreigners that queue to get the ticket. They all want to watch the show!
Ticket Price : IDR 60,000 - 100,000 (as of August 2014)
Show : 3 p.m - 4.30 p.m
See the website for more details (information below)
If you come at a regular day (non-holiday) you can watch and also learn how to make Angklung.
(contact them for further information, because I don't really know about this since I didn't watch it)
Unfortunately for me, I came during Eid Mubarak Holiday, so I can only watch their Angklung show.
Trust me, the tickets is really affordable and you get more than you paid - really! -
After you bought the ticket, you'll get :
1. Synopsis to guide you along the show (There are Bahasa Indonesia & English version)
2. Welcome drink
3. Angklung necklace as your entrance ticket and also souvenir.
Quickly get a seat, because you definitely want a nice spot!
There are 9 sections of the show:
1. Wayang Golek Demonstration
Wayang Golek is also one of traditional wood-doll show from Sunda, which usually being held on a traditional ceremony
2. Helaran
This is played during a traditional ceremony usually for khitanan, to cheer up the boy who's going to be "Khitan" and to praise the Lord for the life.
3. Traditional Dance
There are 2 : Tari Topeng (Mask Dance) and Tari Merak (Peacock Dance)
4. Mini Angklung
Played by kids, this mini angklung show will make you sing together with the whole audience!
5. Arumba
This instrument is made from Bamboo and just listened to how beautiful it is!
6. Padaeng Angklung
You'll realised that playing Angklung is not just a traditional music, you can play the international music with Angklung!
7. Play Angklung Together
This is my favourite part!! Saung Angklung Udjo's owner will teach us how to play basic Angklung and then we will create harmony together.
Unbelievable, but yes, at that time the whole audience made it!
It was really beautiful!
8. Angklung Orchestra
It's a combination between traditional music and modern music (guitar, drum)
9. Dancing Together
To close the show, all the Angklung players will come up and ask you to dance on the floor. Yes, we'll have fun at the end of the show!
I don't want to show the whole thing, but here's a short clip about Angklung Orchestra just for you!
