A Great Day Of Matswapati

(poster of matswapati event)

Last Sunday, 27^th September 2014 was held an event called “Matswapati” at Lapangan Bali at Jalan Bali in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. This event was presented by 3 Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMAN 3) Bandung (my lovely school^^v). This event presented everything about traditional arts and cultures of West Java. The ticket price was only 25k, was it cheap right? we could saw benjang (traditional martial art of West Java), cepot show (skinned-red, like a puppet show but the story is very funny), merak dance (traditional dance, the costumes like peacock bird), angklung show (traditional musical instruments of West Java) and the guest star was Barsena who's the winner of nez academy and indonesian jazz singer Glenn Fredly! 

Actually, this event began at 7 am with parade activity around Bali Field followed by many participants from elementery school students with unique traditional west java costumes, such as (kebaya), merak tranditional dance costumes, and many more.

Unfortunately, I couldn't come on time. I was sick and feeling not good in the morning. So, I just could see the merry of parade from instagram matswapati account from my handphone.

After that, the opening of the event or open gate by the mayor of Bandung city is Mr. Ridwan Kamil who's graduated from 3 Senior High School Bandung with his wife Mrs.Athalia.

At 11 am, I arrived at venue with my mom by riding motorcycle. It was very hot and sunny. it made us thirsty, so, we came to food area (basketball field). We bought a cup of cendol ( traditional drinks of Bandung/West Java, it's sweet mixed with extract of suji leaf jelly) very delicious! because it's very tasty when we drink during a hot day.

Then, we visited the main venue (football field), we could see there was so many stands who sold traditional arts and games of Jawa Barat cultures. Very interesting, right? :)

Do not miss my class have own stand that have themed Arjuna, we sold postcard, arrows exercise (arjuna mascot carries the arrows right?) and brain teasers/iq games. 

 (I took a photo with my mom in front of my class stand)

Then, I saw a show of calung (traditional music instrument of West Java). those people weren't playing on the stage, but in the field while walking around.

Then a show of benjang (traditional martial arts of West Java)

 I took a screenshot from video if that video it's not too clear to see :)

After taking look around, we had to pray dzuhur at Al- Kaustar Mosque at Jalan Sumbawa and came back to the venue and watched MK, (not mahkamah konstitusi =)) but Musik Klasik is an extra curricular in 3 shs it's about classic music and it's gonna be my extracurricular, it has 3 section such as : guitar, drum, violin and bass. That's cool right? ;) )

And I still have the video of them if you want to hear how cool they are!

Around 1 pm I could go outside to have lunch with mom, I decided not to have lunch at food area, because there was no food we wanted, so, we went to Nasi Bakar 15 at Jalan Cimandiri.

Then, we came back to the venue, I was so curious why the gate was being a little bit crowded when we came back to the venue. Besides, the weather it's not too hot while afternoon, after that, I immediately watched cepot show from Wayang Golek Giriharja, the show was very exclaimed. The controller of puppets said silly word in sundanese. I was laughing because the puppets acted so silly.

And I recorded a little bit part of all the funniest part =))

After watching cepot show, I prayed ashr then came back to the field, I was astonished because there's so many people there. at that time, we're waiting for the guest star. before that,  we were watching Indonesia Bamboo Community and KV (kelompok vokal 3 of shs)

While waiting the guest star, I took a selfie with my friends to kept the mood haha =))

 

there were so many people coming to this venue means this event was successful!

 

 

Finally, one of the guest stars came.He was Barsena. We were very happy to hear he singing a song. because his voice was very amazing. we were dazzled with his show, he also sang with KV 2015.

 

(Barsena was singing with a band called Panorama)

 

 (And he was also singing with KV 2015)

After Barsena show, we prayed Maghrib, then, the real guest star came to Matswapati stage, yeah it's Glenn Fredly. We screamed when he was revealing themselves to us, then we sang together until 8pm.

 

There was the one made me eyed-dazzled, that's the saxophone player, he was very expert to play that instrument. It reminded me with a legendary saxophone player, Kenny G is my idol, I love all his songs.

And this is another cool video !

At the end I took selfie with my classmate, what a great moment. Thank god I had a great day, that's why I named my post "A Great Day Of Matswapati" :)))))))))).
