Lineup and details for Sambasunda Quintet on Friday 17th February 2012
Groundbreaking gamelan innovators Sambasunda have a flair for experimentation with new ideas, both forwards and backwards in their tradition. In their latest incarnation, Sambasunda strip down to a quintet, reflecting an enduring classical tradition of Sundanese music whilst at the same time creating something modern, fresh and original.
Their music is centred on the Kacapi, a boat shaped zither whose gentle tones have been heard in Sunda (West Java) for centuries. Its a haunting and evocative sound which connects to the Sundanese soul and poetry often singing of displacement, longing and sadness. Using kacapi, violin, suling (bamboo flute) and the unique, tuned kendang drums to accompany a truly stunning singer (and dancer!). Providing fresh, innovative interpretations of some traditional Javanese songs.
This is one of our family friendly events where children accompanying an adult pay £1
