My name is Alfiana Ratna Sinta Alkhoir. But you can call me Sinta. I am student in SMP 1
Lasem. Well I want to tell you about extracurricular arts in my school. There are many
extracurricular in my school there are basketball, volleyball, football, scout, scientific work,
CCO, etc. There are also extracurricular arts like Karawitan, traditional dance, band, etc.
Karawitan is one of my local culture. Karawitan is the group of many people that playing
gamelan. Gamelan is group of music equipments from Central Java (my province). Gamelan
usually used for puppet shows in my town. There are bonang, slenthem, kenong, saron, peking,
kempul, gong,and kendang. The player of gamelan is called panjak. There are 15 persons that
playing gamelan. Gamelan music used to accompany traditional songs java, like Manyar Sewuand Rembang Bangkit. Beside that, gamelan music used to accompany traditional dance, like
Gambyong dance and Janaka-Cakil dance.
In my school, if there is event, gamelan always appear. Because gamelan is the local traditionalmusic in Indonesia.
Gamelan is also famous in America. Even, many Americans playing gamelan. I also participatein this extracurricular. The name of my music equipments is Bonang. In the first I play gamelan,
I thinks it is very difficult, but after I try and try it is very fun. Play gamelan also can train brain
intelligence and sensitivity feelings. Gamelan music can also relieve stress.
Emmhhh, this is My mother, she also my Javanese teacher (my mother language). She is singing
a traditional song from Central Java, the title of this song is “Yen Ing Tawang Ana Lintang”.
This is the reff of this song :
Yen ing tawang ono lintang cah ayu
