Matswapati

   Hello i want to tell you something. On Saturday June 27th 2014 there was an event about art and culture organized by SMAN 3 Bandung. I was a comittee of that event. My role was a society connector. Couple days ago i went to a houses in Jl. Bali and Jl. Kalimantan to ask their permission to make this event sucess. We dont want the society nearby disturbed by our event such as loud sound and lights. I was also the one to invited mayor of bandung Mr. Ridwan Kamil to our event

  


    I went to the location  at 05:30 AM . we had a little briefing before we open the event. the first event was a parade in litlle indonesia. this parade was participated by a lot of elementary schoolsm and junior higschools such as SMP 2 and . the parade was magnificent because there were also a lot of sundanese character and music instruments. we came back to Location at 09;00. then the event was opened by the mayor of bandung. he said a little things that we should know

    My favourite event was performance by Indonesia Bamboo Comunity. it was very interesting because the music instrument is made from bamboo. the guitar is made fro bamboo, the bass is made from bamboo. even the drum was made from bamboo. It was a great combination betwerrn art and music. they performed a lot of song including local song and foreign song. The song was really nice. alot of people were sing a long with them . There also a vocalist in that group with a loud and beautifull sound

   
    The event that was worth waiting is the performance by glenn fredly and his band. When Glenn started to sing . a lot of people crowded that place. There were a lot of songs that were performed by Glenn Fredly such as "Terserah". That song made the crowd sing along together with Glenn. There were also a lot of skillfull band members. My favourite one was the man playing saxophone. He is very skilled. He played beautifull song. after their performance the closing was performed by debus api. After that we all came back to our houses

The Legend Of Tangkuban Perahu

    Hello everybody! i would like to tell you about one of many legends in west java. I think this is a cool legend. Some of you may know this legend. it called 

                                              TANGKUBAN PERAHU 

    Long time ago in West Java, there lived a woman named Dayang Sumbi. She have son named sangkuriang One day, Sangkuriang was hunting in the forest and then he killed Tumang. Originally tumang is dayang sumbi's husband. than he turned into a dog. When Dayang Sumbi knew that she hit Sangkuriang’s head with a big spoon and expelled him. Many years later, Sangkuriang wandered and found an old house in the forest. Sangkuriang came closer to the house and there was an old beautiful woman. The woman, Dayang Sumbi. Unintentionally, Sangkuriang forced Dayang Sumbi to marry him. 

   Dayang Sumbi agreed to marry him but Sangkuriang had to build a vast boat, just in one night.At night, Sangkuriang called his friends, ghosts ( some called it jinn ) and fairies to help him. Feared with the boat to complete, Dayang Sumbi asked other women in her village to help her. Then the women punched the grains with grain pancher to make noise which disturbed the ghosts and fairies. They were flee because they think it was already morning. ghost and fairies can't work in the morning. The morning came before Sangkuriang completed the boat. Unfortunately the fairies and the ghosts also left Sangkuriang alone. Finaly Sangkuriang got very angry and kicked away the boat to the downside,  which finally turned into a mountain, called Tangkuban Parahu. 

    you can find tangukban perahu in lembang, west java. from distance, this mountain look like an upside down boat. some locals still believe the tales are realy happening. this local story are teached to all sundanese men and women even a child know this story. this is one of the best legend in java
