From Indonesia to the World: Sasando

As much as I love the contemporary music, it does not mean that I am not giving a deal about traditional music. I even played gamelan when I was in senior high school! Also, did I tell you that I was playing kolintang on my elementary school days?

So anyway, when I went to CBN Indonesia for the creative industry talk, there was this sasando player from  Kupang, Jack Bulan. He has been introducing Sasando to other countries by playing it in the foreign countries. Also he has been using modern technology by connecting Sasando to speaker.

Because I was in a studio, I was not able to record his performance there. Too bad :( He plays very very well. And also, talking about sasando, you might have seen this traditional instrument before from the survival audition Indonesia Mencari Bakat. There was a contestant who played Sasando. His name is Berto Pah.

Anyway, talking about collaborating Indonesian music with other country, I think this collaboration of Indonesia and Japan is brilliant.



Enough for the videos, here I present you, a selfie with Jack Bulan! Hahahaha.

Cheers,
