Download Gambang Kromong

Gambang Kromong known as Betawi ethnic music instruments, Gambang kromong (or written gambang keromong) is a kind of orchestra that combines gamelan with Chinese musical instruments, such as sukong, tehyan, and kongahyan. The term kambang gambang is derived from the names of two percussion instruments, namely gambang and kromong. The beginning of the formation of the gambang kromong orchestra can not be separated from a Chinese community leader who was appointed Dutch (Chinese captain) named Nie Hoe Kong (tenure 1736-1740).
Gambang mine which amounts to 18 pieces, usually made of suangking wood, huru batu, manggarawan or other kind of soft wooden sound when hit. Kromong is usually made of bronze or iron, amounting to 10 pieces (ten pencon). The tone used in the kromong gambang is the Chinese pentatonic scales, often called Chinese salendro or salendro mandalungan. Instruments in the kromong gambang consist of gambang, kromong, gong, drum, flute, kecrek, and sukong, tehyan, or kongahyan as the bearer of melody.

The gambang kromong orchestra is a harmonious blend of indigenous elements with Chinese elements. Physically, the Chinese element looks at the stringed instruments of sukong, tehyan, and kongahyan. The combination of both elements of culture is also visible in the treasury of his songs. In addition to songs that show indigenous traits, such as Dalem (Classical) songs entitled: Centeh Manis Standing, Mas Nona, Ganting Sugar, Semar Gunem, Ganting Sugar, Tanjung Burung, Kula Nun Salah, and Rose Spilled and so on, and songs Sayur (Pop) entitled: Jali-jali, Stambul, Centeh Manis, Surilang, Persi, Balo-balo, Akang Haji, Renggong Buyut, Payung Snapper, Kramat Karem, Onde-onde, Ngunguk Wren, Lenggang Kangkung, Sirih Kuning and many more, there are also songs that are clearly Chinese-style, both the name of the song, the flow of melodies and lyrics, such as Kong Ji Liok, Sip Pat Mo, Poa Si Li Tan, Peh Pan Tau, Cit No Sha, Ma Cun Tay, Cu Te Pan, Cay Cu Teng, Si Si Cay, Lo Fuk Cen, and many others.
The songs that are performed on gambang kromong music are songs that are humorous, full of joy, and sometimes mockery or sarcasm. Her songwriting is sung in rotation between men and women as opposed to her.
Gambang kromong is Betawi music which is the most distributed in Betawi culture area, either in DKI Jakarta area or in the surrounding area (Jabotabek). If there are more peranakan Chinese in the local Betawi community, there are more gang kromong orchestra groups. In North Jakarta and West Jakarta, for example, there are more gambang kromong groups than in South Jakarta and East Jakarta.
Today there is also the term "combination kromong gambang". Combination of kromong combinations is a gambang kromong orchestra whose tools are added or combined with modern Western musical instruments such as melodic guitar, bass, guitar, organ, saxophone, drums and so on, resulting in a change from the pentatonic barrel to diatonic without disturbing. It does not diminish the peculiarities of the kromong itself, and the songs played are fair and not forced.

Download Calung

about the exact thing about the beginning of its appearance, based on the shape calung in West Java consists of four kinds of forms, namely Calung Rantay, Calung Tarawangsa, Calung Gamelan and Calung Jingjing.

Calung art is a karawitan dish in sekar-gending form, which uses sekar (vocal) and gending (instrument) in its presentation. Calung musical instrument is one of the Sundanese musical instruments made of bamboo, but not all types of bamboo can be used as the basic ingredients of making calung, usually blackish-colored bamboo or commonly called awi wulung. The sense of calung according to the General Dictionary of the Sundanese Basa is 'tata tuhan awi guluntungan, aya anu siga gambang aya anu ditiir sarta ditakolannana bari dijingjing' (tetabuhan made of bamboo, some like gambang, some are pinned and beaten while carrying). While the other sense of calung is the performing arts that waditra principally use calung.

Calung's current performing arts have undergone many developments in its presentation and form. At the beginning of its existence calung art functioned as a means of ritual, the ceremony of honor to Dewi Sri on the harvest celebration, but over time, calung performances now shifted function becomes a means of entertainment for the general public. This occurs after the calung changes in the packaging. Responding to the development of art, Soedarsono argues that: '............ .. In this modern technological era the outline of the performing arts function in human life can be grouped into three: 1) as a means of ceremony, 2) as personal entertainment, 3) as a spectacle. Although in history the oldest function of performing arts is for ceremonies, ............... '(Soedarsono 1985: 18).

Pict : Calung Jinjing

After experiencing a period of development in the form and packaging, calung art has given birth to many groups that are well known by the community, including calung UNPAD, calung Ria Buana, calung DAMAS, Layungsari, Glamor calung group, Jebrag and many others. From some of the above calung groups have given birth to vocalists or calung singers who in principle have a vocal color or a distinctive feature in comparison to the type of vocals in Sunda karawitan, such as on kawih, tembang, and so forth. One of the singers of songs calung enough known to the public until now is Hendarso or Darso. The public recognizes the Darso figure well from the typical style of singing songs. Vocal voices accompanied by ornamentations, dress styles and attitudes in singing seem to be a characteristic and familiar to the community. Quoting Yus Wiradiredja's words in Iman Herawandi that: 'The advantages of other groups, Calung Darso has good artistic cultivation, especially the presentation and processing of his voice has not been set aside'. This is reinforced by Ubun Kubarsah's opinion on the same source:

"The Calung Darso Group has a vocal identity from its Hendarso interpreter in singing songs, either own songs or other people's works, unique vocal techniques, simple ornamentation-style songs. So that each song that was delivered both the song itself and the song of another person felt the song has a voice identity Darso "(Herawandi 1997: 6).

It is not known what lies behind Hendarso's performance in singing every song he sings, his voice, how he dresses, whether he 'imitates' the appearance of one of the singers who had been there before, or whether this can be seen as a creativity from a Hendarso. As Guilford puts it in Deni Hermawan on the definition of creativity in the person dimension states: "Creativity refers to the abilities that are characteristic of creative people" (Creativity is defined as the ability that is the nature of the creative person). Or is Darso's creativity formed through an artistic process, referring to Munandar's opinion that states: "Creativity is a process that manifests it self in fluency, in flexibility as well as in the originality of thinking" (Creativity is a process that is reflected in its own smoothness, flexibility also authenticity of thought).

download cianjuran

In Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia where this originated music is called mamaos. Named Tembang Sunda Cianjuran since the 1930s and inaugurated in 1962 when the Tembang Sunda together meeting held throughout Pasundan in Bandung.
Art mamaos is a Sundanese vocal art with a musical instrument kacapi indung, kacapi rincik, suling, and or rebab. Mamaos was formed during the reign of Cianjur RAA. Kusumaningrat (1834-1864). Regent Kusumaningrat in making songs often housed in a building called Pancaniti. Hence he is famous for the name Kangjeng Pancaniti. At first the mamaos were sung by men. New in the first quarter of the 20th century mamaos can be learned by women. It is proven by the emergence of female mamaos interpreter, such as Rd. Siti Sarah, Rd. Anah Ruhanah, Ibu Imong, Mrs. O'oh, Ibu Resna, and Nyi Mas Saodah.

Mamaos material comes from various Sundanese sound art, such as pantun, beluk (mamaca), degung, and Javanese macapat song, namely pupuh. Mamaos songs taken from the vocals of pantun art called pantun song or papantunan, or also called Pajajaran song, taken from the name of the Sunda palace in the past. While the songs that come from the material pupuh called tembang. Both show the rules of rumpaka (text). While both vocal techniques use Sundanese processed vocal materials. But in the end both techniques of making this rumpaka there are combined. Songs of papantunan too many are made with the rules of pupuh.
In the early days of its creation, Cianjuran was a revitalization of Pantun art. Kacapi and the technique to play it is still clear from the art of Pantun. Similarly, the songs are almost all from the art of Pantun. Rumpaka song was taken from the story Pantun Mundinglaya Dikusumah.
During the reign of the RAA regent. Prawiradiredja II (1864-1910) mamaos art began to spread to other areas. Rd. Etje Madjid Natawiredja (1853-1928) is among the mamaos who played a role in this spreading. He is often invited to teach mamaos to districts in Priangan, among them by the regent of Bandung RAA. Martanagara (1893-1918) and RAA. Wiranatakoesoemah (1920-1931 & 1935-1942). When the mamaos spread to other areas and the songs that used the pattern of the puppets were numerous, the people outside Cianjur (and some associations in Cianjur) called mamaos by the name of the Sundanese tembang or Cianjuran, because this art is typical and originated from Cianjur. Similarly, when the radio NIROM Bandung in the 1930s broadcast this art call it with Cianjuran song.

Actually the term mamaos only shows the songs that have the pattern of pupuh (tembang), because the term mamaos is a refinement of the word mamaca, the art of reading books wawacan story by sung. Wawacan books that use the rule of this pupuh there is a melagukan with rancag chanting techniques and techniques. Mamaos songs harmonized pelog (degung), Sorog (nyorog, madenda), salendro, and mandalungan. Based on the material origin and the nature of the song mamaos grouped in several wanda, namely: papantunan, jejemplangan, dedegungan, and rarancagan. Now also added type kakawen and panambih as its own wanda. Songs mamaos of the type of tembang many use the pattern of pupuh Kinanti, Sinom, Asmarandana, and Dangdanggula, and there is a song from other pupuh. The songs in the wand of papantunan include Papatat, Rajamantri, Mupu Kembang, Randegan, Randegan Kendor, Kaleon, Manyeuseup, Balagenyat, Putri Layar, Pangapungan, Rajah, Gelang Gading, Candrawulan, While in wanda jejemplangan of which consists of Jemplang Panganten, Jemplang, Cidadap, Jemplang Leumpang, Jemplang Titi, Jemplang Pamirig, and so on. Wanda dedegungan include Sinom Degung, Asmarandana Degung, Durma Degung, Dangung Degung, Rumangsang Degung, Panangis Degung and so on. Wanda rarancagan in between; Manangis, Bayubud, Sinom Polos, Kentar Cisaat, Kentar Ajun, Liwung Sinom, Asmarandana Rancag, Setra, Satria, Kulu-kulu Barat, Udan Mas, Udan Iris, Dangdanggula Pancaniti, Garutan, Porbalinggo, Erang Barong and so on. Wanda kakawen include: Sebrakan Sapuratina, Sebrakan Pelog, Toya Mijil, Wood Supreme, and so on. Wanda panambih include: Slave Ceurik, Toropongan, Kulu-kulu Gandrung Gunung, Renggong Gede, Panyileukan, Selabintana, Soropongan, etc ..
At first mamaos serves as a musical entertainment tool of hospitality among the folk. But mamaos now, in addition to still like the original function, has also become a entertainment art that is profitable by artists such as art. Mamaos is now often used in entertainment celebrations of marriage, circumcision, and various purposes of entertainment or traditional events.
