Music

While hunting for our hallway objet d'art, we came upon a large musical group complete with a conductor performing in a corner of the large shop.

These instruments are called angklung. The anklung is a bamboo instrument native to West Java. There are bamboo tubes and a bamboo frame. Each tube is carved to create a single tone when being vibrated.

B managed to take a few photos and even capture a short video (sorry the video isn't longer!). The music was really pretty and it was interesting to watch the musicians perform, especially the guys working the very large bamboo tubes at the back.
