ANGKLUNG, INDONESIAN HERITAGE

At the first time i heard the sound of angklung, i was amazed. How can something made from bamboo produce a beautiful sound. No doubt, nowadays it’s became very famous all over Southeast Asia and also to the world. The Origin of anklung come from West Java, Indonesia. Angklung describe the richness of sundanese ethnic tradition and culture.

I rembered when i joined the capacity building training programme, I learned a lot about values of teamwork from Angklung. Angklung will produce a very great harmony if we play in team. Every member of the team has it’s own role. There’s also a mutual respect for every member. If one member do not play it as it should be, It will affect the performamce of the team. Even small things also important.

Angklung officially recognized as Indonesian Heritage by UNESCO On November 18, 2010, as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and encourage Indonesian people and government to safeguard, transmit, promote performances and to encourage the craftsmanship of angklung making.

Culture is an identity.
