July 15th, 2009.
Not too far from where we stayed, about 5 - 10 minutes drive (traffic permitting), there's a bamboo musical instrument cultural center, called Saung Angklung Udjo (Udjo's Angklung Pavillion). Here, bamboo musical concert is performed by local children and teenagers. You get to learn how to play the instrument, too. The concert is performed daily at 3.30 pm for about 1.5 hours, admission Rp 80,000 / US$ 8,00.- It's amazing how traditional music instruments can play international numbers like Symphony 40 by Mozart.
The official website of Saung Angklung Udjo (in English) is:
