Year 5, #8

Home of Ki Purbo Asmoro, Gebang, Kadipiro

Dear Friends,

Last night we had the 8th klenengan in the 5th fiscal year of Pujangga Laras at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro. It started at 7 pm with a group of students from STSI, and went on until 1:45 am. With the presence of Bp. Darsono "Jepang", Bp. Panggah, and a number of recently-added, vivacious gerong members (Bp. Giarto and Bp. Jungkung) this klenengan was quite lively. Already in the palaran section of the sl 6 suite you'll hear it

Ever growing--there were a number of new musicians once again--Bp Giarto and Bp Muryana had just run into us recently at a wayang and we had invited them. Others heard by word of mouth.

  • Bp. Giarto, gerong singer with Ki Anom Soeroto
  • Bp. Muryana, Ki Anom Soeroto's current rebab player
  • Bp. Bandi, Ki Purbo Asmoro's bonang player, formerly with Ki Anom Soeroto
  • all three formerly of Condhong Raos (Ki Nartasabdo's group) and then Ngesthi Raras (Ki Mujoko's group)
  • Bp. Purnama, dhalang and off and on kendhang player for Ki Purbo Asmoro
  • Ibu Ratmi, younger sister of Bp. Karman, Ibu Sumini

Pak Dalimin is much better, but didn't feel up to going out at night. When the car arrived to pick him up he decided against coming after all.

Bp Karno had the flu and couldn't come, and a whole group (Bp-s Hali, Widodo, Mujiono, Karman, Ibu Keni) had a wayang gig.

The next klenengan is scheduled for Saturday, 3 June at the home of Bp. Rahayu Supanggah in Palur. We may fit in another one in May, but are unsure as of yet.
