Year 13, #8

7 October 2015
Home of Ki Purbo Asmoro, Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo

(This klenèngan took place during a period of time when I was very, very busy, and I did not write the report until June 2018, using notes I had. I did not access the recording while writing the report, but just wrote up what I had written. If anyone listens to the recording and has corrections or additions, please send them via email. I caught up on reports also during a very busy time, and only went so far as to write up what I had written.)

On Wednesday, 7 October 2015 we had the eighth klenèngan in the 13th year of Pujangga Laras. It was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro, in honor of his eldest son’s wedding party. On Tuesday 6 October 2015, Indhung Prabancana and Novita (of Mojosongo) were married in a grand ceremony at a wedding hall in Solo with karawitan ISI Solo mixed with Mayangkara. On Wednesday 7 October 2015 in the afternoon, there was a reception at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro with Mayangkara performing standard wedding ceremony repertory, and on Wednesay night Pujangga Laras was invited to play a free klenèngan with no programming, for the remaining guests that continued to flow in. The gendhing were set by Bp Wakidi Dwidjomartono.
