Year 13, #5

20 July 2015
Home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo

On Monday, 20 July 2015 we had the fifth klenèngan in the 13th year of Pujangga Laras. It was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo, beginning at 20:00 and ending around 01:00. This was a pretty quiet klenèngan, as it was held in the middle of the busy post-fasting season of Idul Fitri celebrations. Many musicians were busy playing for neighborhood events with klenèngan or wayang. Every Pujangga Laras klenèngan seems to end up with its own charm in whatever small way and this was no exception, with the energy really picking up toward the middle of the night.

(The Kraton was having their monthly muryararas and Bp Saptono was called to go there so had to leave. After this gendhing, Bp Saptono called Bp Kamso and asked him to follow, as they didn’t have enough musicians to play. Hence, a quiet night got even quieter!)
