Klenengan Pujangga Laras

<< Previous | Next >>

Year 10, #6

16 April 2011
Home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo.

On Saturday 16 April 2011, we had the sixth klenengan in the TENTH fiscal year of Klenèngan Pujangga Laras. It was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo. It started at 8:00 pm and lasted through to 2:00 am.

This was a GREAT klenèngan. The gendhing were varied and the atmosphere really lively.

A few months ago, a wayang gedhog revival performance was done at the home of Ki Bambang Suwarno by one of his students mas Suluh, and ever since then I personally had been wanting to record some wayang gedhog pieces at the klenèngan. Wayang gedhog refers to a category of stories which tell the Panji/Kediri tales, and for the Javanese occur after the chronology of the Mahabharata. The accompaniment for wayang gedhog is all in pélog, and there are very few practitioners left, Bambang Suwarno being one.)

We were really thrilled to have Bu Pringgo (Bu Kris) attend for the very first time!
