Year 6, #11

Saturday, 1 September 2007
Home of Dr. Rahayu Supanggah, Benawa, Palur

On Sept 1, Saturday night, we had the last klenengan in this sixth fiscal year of the Pujangga Laras klenengan at the home of Bp. Supanggah in Benawa. Pak Panggah was in England, rehearsing the Southbank group for Ki Purbo Asmoro's wayang there in a week, but he generously said it was OK to use his house anyway.

It was a VERY quiet klenengan. This was the last weekend for communities to have their annual Independence Day celebrations and so there were many wayang and neighborhood cultural events. It is also one of the last Saturdays before the fasting month, so many are trying to get in events before then as well. Finally, there was an International Ethnic Music Festival that many ISI musicians were involved in.

We were commemorating Pak Cakra, who passed away Thursday morning, by planning a number of gendhing that Barry (on my request) suggested were some of his favorites. We planned a mulyararas at midnight but ended up doing it at about 1:15 am.
