Description
The selection in this second volume covers music from the vast island of Sumatra (West Indonesia) The Moluccas Islands and the island of Bali. In the first sample from Sumatra (“Gondang Mula Mula”) recorded near the awesome Lake Toba we find a ceremonial overture played during weddings and special occasions. The band is comprised of four instruments: two ‘Ketchapis’ (sort of a two-string ukulele) one ‘Serenar’(a wind instrument) and one simple metal spoon tapped against a glass bottle. The second track (“Andung Andung”) is instead music conceived to put people in the right mood for working in the fields or boating on Lake Toba. Some sort of predecessor if you will of the “Ayo kerja” slogan and movement. The third track (“Hasa Hatan”) is a coda to all ceremonies in the region and carries a benediction.
