Matswapati , Love
Your Culture !
Hello ! I’m Belinda! Today I’ll
tell you about one of the most popular culture festival in Bandung. it was a
festival that implemented for Bandung’s birthday. The name of the culture
festival is Matswapati.
Matswapati is the name of a king in
sundanese traditional puppet. The real name of king Matswapati is Prabu
Matswapati. He was a great king. He was very kind and thoughtful. Matswapati
culture festival is held on 27th of September 2014 at 3 senior high
school field at bali street near 5 senior highschool.
It’s start at 8.00 am with
traditional costumes parade. My class’s mascot wore Jaipong costumes (for
girls) and Pangsi ( for boy). And other students wore samping at their waist.
After that , we made our yel – yel together. We walked until Merdeka street and
then back to Bali Field. There are many students who followed the parade.
After parade , we went to our booth
and watch the opening ceremony. Our city mayor is came too! After the opening
ceremony we watched calung and benjang performance. Calung is a traditional
music instrument from west java. Benjang is a physical exercise from west java.
Its like a wrestling but benjang is accompanied with traditional music.
After that , we watched Dangdut
Orchestra from ITB and degung. Degung is a traditional music ansamble.after
that we watched MK3 performances! MK3 is a classical music extracurricular from
3 Senior high school. They performed 3 song. I’m sorry I didn’t know the tittle
of the songs L.after
MK3 performances , we watched Pencak silat demonstration from elementary school
students.
Finally we watched a drama from
Tiloe’s Theatre. T’sT is an Extracurricular too! They always make great
performances on stage. I really love it. Matswapati have traditional food
festival too! The slogan is “You are What you Eat”. The food festival sell many
traditional foods like Lotek , cilok , Cassava chips , and many more.
At 18.00 we watched KV3 and Barsena
performances. I love barsena’s voice and …… he looks so handsome ! At the end we sang along with Glenn Fredly !
I asked one of the committee. Her
name is Felia prima Wefiani. She is a decoration committee. She said Matswapati
Culture Festival was very successful!
She said that Matswapati will be the unforgettable memory in her life. She
likes Glenn Fredly and Barsena performances. And Actually she took a picture
with a special person /ups.
And then I asked one of my senior
in my school. His name is Ilham Muzakki. He was an field team work. He said
that Matswapati is very successful. He said that Matswapati is different from
other Festivals. “Guest star wasn’t important , but the culture”, he said.
That’s all from me. Thank you!!
