Jaipong Dance "Energetic Dance from West Java"

     ,  No comments
Jaipongan, also known as Jaipong, is a popular traditional dance of Sundanese People, West Java, Indonesia. The dance was created by Gugum Gumbira, based on traditional Sundanese Ketuk Tilu music and Pencak Silat movements.

 Dance Background
In 1961, Indonesian President Sukarno prohibited rock and roll and other western genres of music, and challenged Indonesian musicians to revive the indigenous arts. The name jaipongan came from people mimicking of the sounds created by some of the drums in the ensemble. Audiences were often heard shouting jaipong after specific sections of rhythmic music were played. Jaipongan debuted in 1974 when Gugum Gumbira and his gamelan and dancers first performed in public.
The most widely available album of Jaipongan outside of Indonesia is Tonggeret by singer Idjah Hadidjah and Gugum Gumbira's
Jugala orchestra, released in 1987, and re-released as West Java: Sundanese Jaipong and other Popular Music by Nanesuch/Elektra Records.

Manuk Dadali by Sambas Mangundikarta


Mesat ngapung luhur jauh di awang-awang
Meberkeun jangjangna bangun taya karingrang
Kukuna ranggoas reujeung pamatukna ngeluk
Ngapak mega bari hiberna tarik nyuruwuk

Saha anu bisa nyusul kana tandangna
Tandang jeung pertentang taya bandingannana
Dipikagimir dipikaserab ku sasama
Taya karempan kasieun leber wawanenna

Reff :
Manuk dadali manuk panggagahna
Perlambang sakti Indonesia Jaya
Manuk dadali pangkakoncarana
Resep ngahiji rukun sakabehna

Hirup sauyunan tara pahiri-hiri
Silih pikanyaah teu inggis bela pati
Manuk dadali ngandung siloka sinatria
Keur sakumna Bangsa di Nagara Indonesia

Es Lilin by NN


Es lilin mah didorong-dorong
dibantun mah dibantun ka Sukajadi
abdi isin dunungan samar kaduga
sok inggis mah aduh henteu ngajadi

Es lilin mah ceuceu buatan Bandung
dicandak mah geuning ka Cipaganti
abdi isin jungjunan duh bararingung
sok inggis mah aduh henteu ngajadi

Itu saha dunungan nu nungtun munding
digantelan geuning ku saputangan
itu saha dunungan ku ginding teuing
sing horeng mah aduh geuning jungjunan

Es lilin mah ceuceu dikalapaan
raosna mah geuningan kabina-bina
abdi alim dunungan paduduaan
sok sieun mah dibantun kamana-mana

Kamana mah geuningan ngaitkeun kincir
ka kaler mah ka kaler katojo bulan
kamana mah dunungan ngaitkeun pikir
moal paler geuningan da ku sabulan

          After arriving at the location, besides Citambur waterfall, you can also enjoy the beautiful surrounding area. You cannot stand directly under the waterfall, because the water falling and beating to the ground from 100 meter height will certainly very hard. Usually visitors enjoy the fresh waterfall by playing water at the streaming river which is under Citambur waterfall. If you do not want to get wet, you can enjoy the waterfall at the edge of the river accompanied by the chirping of wild birds and green trees grown in surrounding area.
