Cultural Night

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2007

Last night the 18th December 2007, I went to Cultural Night on the Occasion of the Launching of Indonesian Cultural Center (ICC) at Chaktomouk Theatre.

I didn't know that we were allowed to bring a camera in... just as soon as the show started and people started to taking photos, I immediately ran to my car and grabbed my camera hoping to take many photos and post on facebook he he.


Gamelan Composition "Ojo Dumeh" is a Javanese language means "Don't be arrogant" or "Don't take it for granted".


Javanese Dance "Kebyar" describes the spectacular of the stars at night.



Khmer Dance "Mani Mekhala" in a drama Mina Mekhala is the Goddess of Water on her golden abode, where her duty is to protect the ocean. On her journey to visit Vorachhun the King of the Divinities, she met an ogre and he's trying to get her golden abode.


Balinese Dance "Pendet" it is usually performed in various celebrations in Bali to bring joy and happiness to the people. While dancing they bless the audience by throwing flowers as well as Khmer Blessing Dance.


Singing Khmer song "Arapya" this song people sing it at the weekend as they are happy for the holiday. This is Cambodian dresses, look so gentle and beautiful.


Javanese Dance "Bondan Sayuk" this dance describes the love of a father, a mother and their child which is followed by gentleness, coolness, and harmony in a family.




Khmer Dance "Peacock" this dance is said to bring happiness and prosperity to villagers. For that reason, as we see in the region of Pailin, where it is known for precious stone mining, the dance is performed during the New Year or at special occasions as it is called for.


Additionally, this is me in the "Coconut Dance" in my second year at university. It was embarrassing to me due to the technical problem of the Music CD we played, it messed up our dance.
