Klenengan Pujangga Laras

<< Previous | Next >>

Year 11, #4

27 June 2012
Home of Ki Purbo Asmoro, Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo

Last night, Wednesday, 27 June 2012, we had the FOURTH klenèngan in the 11th year running of Pujangga Laras. The klenèngan was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo. It began at 8:00 and ran through to 02:00 am.

Pak Wakidjo and Pak Raji came quite late (around midnight), from Prambanan where they had been on the jury for a karawitan competition. Bp. Wito was in Jakarta and a number of other musicians playing for various wayang.

The klenèngan, like many these days, started out kind of slow and hesitantly but by the end of the evening was very lively and full. The mulyararas was something quite special this time—and everyone was very quiet afterward for an extended time.
