Year 8, #5

22 March 2009
Home of Bp. Soewito Wito Radyo, Sraten, Klaten

On 22 March 2009, we had the 5th klenengan in the 8th fiscal year running. It was held in Sraten, Klaten, at the home of Bp. Soewito Wito Radyo. Bp. Wito planned the entire gendhing sequence.

Bp. Bandi was frequently on bonang throughout the evening, a non-regular at Pujangga Laras. Bp. Bandi lives in Klaten and formerly played balungan for Ki Nartosabdo; bonang and balungan for Ki Mujoko; and is currently Ki Purbo Asmoro’s bonang player.

(After the gendhing Bp. Wito commented that the inggah was actually meant to be garap-ed like the inggah Ela-Ela Kalibeber in terms of irama, but he didn’t elaborate further, and had forgotten to say anything previous to starting, only said that it would have to be given another try on another day.)
