Year 11, #6

26 July 2012
Home of Ibu Cendhani Laras, Baluwarti, Solo

Last night, Thursday, 26 July 2012, we had the SIXTH klenèngan in the 11th year running of Pujangga Laras. The klenèngan was held at the home of Ibu Cendhani Larasa (“Mulyani”), at Jl. Tamtaman IV in Baluwarti, Solo. Because this is fasting month, it began a little late at 8:30 and ran through to 02:00 am.

The gendhing were set by Bp. Yadi, and this klenèngan was attended by a HUGE number of both Javanese musicians and foreign students. There was a joke the whole night about how just the crowd hanging around on the sofa could make up a whole other great group, totally separately from the ones currently playing at any one time that night!

(This report was written about 8 months after the event—in March 2013—from notes in Kitsie’s book.)
