ANGKLUNG
The angklung is a musical instrument from Indonesia made of a varying number of bamboo tubes attached to a
bamboo frame. The tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck and are tuned to octaves, similar to
American handbells. The base of the frame is held in one hand, whilst the other hand shakes the instrument.
This causes a repeating note to sound. Each of three or more performers in an angklung ensemble play just one
note or more, but altogether complete melodies are produced.
The angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but it originated in what is now West
Java and Banten provinces in Indonesia, and has been played by the Sundanese for many centuries. Angklung
and its music has become the cultural identity of Sundanese communities in West Java and Banten.[1] Playing
the angklung as an orchestra requires cooperation and coordination, and is believed to promote the values of
teamwork, mutual respect and social harmony.
On November 18, 2010, UNESCO officially recognized the Indonesian angklung as a Masterpiece of Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and encouraged the Indonesian people and the Indonesian government to
safeguard, transmit, promote performances and to encourage the craftsmanship of angklung

Sintren
Sintren is known as a mystical dance sourced from love story of Sulasih and Sulandono. The romance
was not sanctioned by Ki Bahurekso as Sulandono’s father. Sulandono left to became a hermit and
Sulasih became the dancer. They always meet through magical realm. Sulandono’s mother, the
Goddess Rantamsari, was the one that arranged the mystical meeting between the two lovers. She
put fairy soul inside Sulasih and during that moment, Rantamsari soul called R. Sulandono and the
meeting happened.
Hence the story, during the sintren dance, the dancer must be penetrated by some kind of spirit by
the instructor, with a note that the dancer must be virgin. The dancer enters the chicken cage,
covered with white cloth, and the instructor walks around the cage by saying a spell summoning
Lanjar to enter the dancer body. If it succeeded, the dancer will become pretty and dance. Then
people who watch will throw money towards the dancer. When the money hit the dancer, she will
become weak. This means to people for not giving a priority to mundane things, such as money.
