Welcome to Bandung Bandung is one of the cities that becomes the

leading tourism destination. It is also known for its attributes: Paris van Java and the Flower city.

Now, Bandung is developed in order to maximize its achievement, and reduce its devactiveness through several ways: by improving the quality of the human resources, management, and infrastructures in order to make more various cultural attractions and by im-proving the marketing and promotion strategy.

Conducting regular events such as Braga Festival, Ujung Berung Festival, Pasar Seni and many other similar events is one of the ways to support the devel-opment of the city. It is made in order to strengthen the root of art and culture, to stimulate the creativity and innovation, and also to introduce the excellence and uniqueness of Bandung as well as to promote it to many people.

These efforts will not give any significance if there is no support from many people. Because of that, I do really appreciate the effort of Shintia Febriyanti Dewi, a stu-dent of Politeknik Negeri Bandung, who has developed her final project entitled “Art and Cultural Festivals in Bandung: A guidebook for exploring the unique-ness of Bandung”.

This guidebook points out the uniqueness of Bandung through a number of regular art and cultural festivals of-fered. This is a great and interesting piece of work, for this guidebook can be used not only as the study ma-terials for many of art and cultural festivals in Bandung, but also as a practical reference as well as a guidance for both international and domestic tourists.

Thus, on behalf of the Bandung Government, I would like to thank her and give the appreciation for the ef-forts. Hopefully, this guidebook can be useful, and also fulfill the requirement of the final project as well as be-come a practical reference that contributes to a value added point towards Bandung as the city of service, and the city of dignity that possesses honor, pride and identity as prescribed in the motto: “The City that gives meaning, cleanliness, prosperity and friendliness”.

Kota Bandung sebagai salah satu kota tujuan wisata terkemuka yang juga dikenal dengan sebutan Paris van Java serta Kota Kembang, kini tengah sibuk berbenah. Berbenah dalam artian meng-optimalkan berbagai capaian kemajuan yang sudah ada, dan menekan sekecil mungkin segala kekurangan , baik melalui peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia, manajemen dan infrastruktur, penganekaragaman produk wisata khas daerah, hingga promosi dan pemasaran.

Pagelaran berbagai event tahunan seperti Braga Festival, Ujung Berung Festival, Pasar Seni, dan lainnya, merupakan bagian dari upaya tersebut. Dengan maksud, selain memperkokoh akar seni budaya, merangsang daya inovasi dan kreasi, juga mem-perkenalkan dan mempromosikan berbagai produk seni budaya unggulan juga keunikan Kota Bandung.

Tentu saja, upaya ini tidak akan berarti sama sekali tanpa dukun-gan dari berbagai pihak. Karena itu, saya sangat meng-apresiasi upaya yang dilakukan Shintia Febriyanti Dewi, mahasiswi Politeknik Negeri Bandung, yang dalam menyelesaikan tugas akhir semester VI, menyusun sebuah buku berjudul: “Art and Cultural Festivals in Bandung: A guidebook for exploring the uniqueness of Bandung”.

Buku ini mengungkap berbagai keunikan Kota Bandung melalui berbagai perhelatan seni budaya tahunan ini, sungguh sebuah karya yang sangat cerdas sekaligus menarik, mengingat buku ini tidak saja menjadi bahan kajian terhadap berbagai pergelaran seni budaya di Kota Bandung, tetapi juga menjadi referensi juga panduan praktis bagi para wisatawan baik domestic maupun mancanegara yang datang ke Kota Bandung.

Karena itu, atas nama Pemerintah Kota Bandung saya mengu-capkan terimakasih dan penghargaan yang tinggi atas upaya tersebut. Semoga buku ini dapat bermanfaat, serta dapat memenuhi persyaratan Tugas Akhir, sekaligus menjadi salah satu referensi yang member nilai tambah bagi perkembangann kepariwisataan Kota Bandung, guna memantapkan pencapaian visi Kota Bandung sebagai Kota Jasa yang Bermartabat. Yaitu kota dan warganya yang memiliki kehormatan, kebanggaan dan jati diri, sesuai motto juang Bermartabat, yang bermakna Bersih, Makmur, Taat dan Bersahabat.

The Mayor of BandungH. Dada Rosada, S.H., M. Si.

Welcome t


Welcome to Bandung Nowadays, the development of Bandung’s

tourism is rapidly increasing. In 2011, the data showed that there were 6,712,824 tourists

who came to Bandung. In details, 6,487,239 of them were domestic tourists and the rest (225,585) were foreigners. In fact, more than sixty percent of them were staying in hotels and other types of accommo-dation available in Bandung.

Being well known as urban tourism, Bandung and its attractions have been developed and enriched with more features including the improvement of landscapes, galleries/museums, cultural activities, heritage, and many other specific target areas. Also, Bandung is covered with many of supporting facili-ties, such as shopping facilities, markets, souvenir shops, entertainment spots, and the functions of city (academic, health and fabrication). Those aspects have led Bandung to become one of the tourism destinations to be potentially developed. However, the development of tourism destination cannot be separated from other elements, such as accommo-dation, accessibility, and the tourism attractions.

In relation to the tourism attractions in Bandung, I, as the representative of the Tourism and Culture Department of Bandung, fully support the making of this guidebook entitled “Art and Cultural Festivals in Bandung: A guidebook for exploring the uniqueness of Bandung”. Hopefully, this guidebook can be very beneficial for the writer and can generally enrich the tourism sector, particularly in Bandung tourism attractions.

May Allah bless us all. Amen.

Perkembangan Kepariwisataan di Kota Bandung dewasa ini men-galami peningkatan yang cukup menggembirakan. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari data jumlah wisatawan yang datang ke Bandung, dalam tahun 2011 saja tercatat sebanyak 6.712.824 wisatawan, dengan rincian wisatawan dalam negeri 6.487.239 orang dan wisatawan luar negeri sebanyak 225.585 orang. Dimana dari jumlah tersebut, lebih dari 60% nya menginap di hotel serta penginapan yang ada di Kota Bandung.

Daya tarik wisata kota Bandung sebagai urban tourism, yang dibangun dengan fitur-fitur kota termasuk didalamnya didukung oleh elemen primer seperti; lansekap, galeri/museum, kegiatan budaya, heritage, dan kawasan binaan khusus, serta elemen sekundernya, seperti; sarana perbelanjaan, pasar, cinderamata, cinderarasa, hiburan, dan fungsi-fungsi perkotaan (sebagai kota pendidikan, kesehatan, fabrikasi) telah menempatkan Bandung, pada posisi sebagai destinasi tujuan pariwisata yang memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan. Namun demikian, pengembangan destinasi pariwisata tentunya tidak terlepas dari dukungan unsur lainnya, diantaranya akomodasi, aksebilitas, dan atraksi wisata yang dimilikinya.

Berkaitan dengan kegiatan atraksi wisata yang ada di Kota Bandung, kami sangat mendukung disusunnya buku berjudul: “Art & Cultural Festivals in Bandung: A guidebook for exploring the uniqueness of Bandung” yang merupakan tugas akhir saudari Shintia Febriyanti Dewi Mahasiswa Politeknik Negeri Bandung, dengan harapan semoga buku ini bermanfaat bagi penulisnya dan pada umumnya bisa memperkaya khasanah sebagai buku panduan tentang atraksi wisata di Kota Bandung.

Demikian sambutan tertulis yang dapat saya sampaikan. Semoga Allah SWT. senantiasa memberikan petunjuk-Nya, dan meridhoi segala niat baik kita. Amin.

The Head of the Tourism and Culture Department of BandungDrs. Priana Wirasaputra, MM.

PREFACE


PREFACE

“Travelling around some places to grab

a pleasing moment has long been listed as one of the people’s needs, particularly those who have full-

exhausting days in their lives. Some people would be willing to spend a fortune just for travelling, but those whose budget is tight have to work out a plan well to meet the best value for the spending.

I’m sure that no one in this world hates pleasure. No matter how busy you are, you would look for pleasure in your own way. Having a relaxed time at home, going for an adventurous trip, going out for an interest-ing film, experiencing a new culinary spot, listening to music, having a party, hanging out around a village, or even perhaps travel-ling around the world may reach the pleas-ure that suits you.

One alternative of the objects of interest to visit is a festival. It is an activity that is made for spending free time, conducting business-oriented program, and leading a tourism-related activity in the form of excit-ing experience that is having a fastest devel-opment in each aspect. Festivals offer you a wide range of entertainment, starting from musical attractions, arts exhibitions to cul-tural parades. You can enjoy the attractions provided in festivals and learn something new from a wide range of exhibits.

Bandung, as the city of art and culture after Bali and Yogyakarta, also offers many regu-lar art and cultural festivals every year. Many artist communities are still concerned with art and culture. Both the artists and organiz-ers show not only their loyalty to the art and culture but also innovation. Thus, festivals in Bandung seem to have well developed to give international tourists more choices of destination.

Great number of artists and their communi-ties frequently gather for a creation and later

Actually, most people know Bandung as “Paris van Java”, because it has many good shopping points in

fashion, like Paris. Bandung is also known as the city of creativity, for there are many creative industries exists.

Bandung has been the trendsetter in fashion, culinary and even the innovation and development of technology.

So, can you imagine how interesting it will be to visit Bandung by its attributes?

on publish or exhibit their creation to be appreciated by people. They said that con-ducting a festival becomes one of the media for showing their ability and creativity. No wonder, people who come to the art and cultural festivals in Bandung are not only lo-cal people, but also people from other cities and countries.

Actually, most people know Bandung as “Paris van Java”, because it has many good shopping points in fashion, like Paris. Band-ung is also known as the city of creativity, for there are many creative industries. Band-ung has been the trendsetter in fashion, cuisine and even the innovation and devel-opment of technology. So, can you imagine how interesting it will be to visit Bandung by its attributes?

Because of those reasons, the Government collaborated with the organizations and communities regularly hold many festivals such as Braga Festival, Bandung Wayang Festival, Ujung Berung Festival, Festival Kuliner Padjajaran, Pasar Seni, Festival Drama Basa Sunda, Festival Paduan Ang-klung, Pentas Seni Budaya Manglayang, Riksa Budaya Sunda and Bandung Berisik. This book will tell you more about those fes-tivals. In addition, there is also information of other art and cultural festivals that you might come across during your stay.

Hopefully, this guidebook can answer your questions about art and cultural festivals in Bandung. Besides, this book can also be used as a handy reference of festivals. This guidebook also provides additional informa-tion that will make it easier to organize your time during your visit, such as the choice of hotels or accommodation, culinary places, transportation services and some tips during the festivals.

Enjoy your time in Bandung, and have a great experience!

Since a long time ago, Bandung, the capital of West Java Province, has become one of the places listed in the choice of tourism

destinations. It has various potential tour-ism attractions. Many people come to Bandung for its natural attractions, histori-cal buildings, shopping corners, culinary spots, cultural experiences, arts attrac-tions, and even just for its fresh weather. As one of the big cities in Indonesia, the weather of Bandung is quite different. Bandung is located in a highland area, so the average temperature of Bandung is about 290C [840F] (about 190C [660F] at night and up to 310C [880F] in the daytime). The weather is a bit humid most

of the time. Thus, sunburn is a rare case although it is hot.

Beside many attractions owned by the city, it is not surprising that Bandung is widely known as a creative city. The 4th

Marketplace of Creative Arts was held in Bandung after the three similar events held in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Astana in Kazakhstan. In 2012, the events were held in Indonesia. Bandung had been chosen as the most appropriate place to hold those events, since it is cat-egorized as one of the five creative cities in Asia. Bandung is known as the city that pays high contribution for the develop-ment of creative industry in Indonesia.

BANDUNGThe Emerging Creative City


Bandung is the city where there are more than 25 creative-industry communities that develop their efforts to make it a better city to be visited by more and more people.The Tourism and Culture Department of Bandung has recorded that there are more than 150 active art communities. To maintain their existence, many of them gather to conduct an exhibition, event, or festival. This is very interesting since those are not only about the moment for showing the talents of each community, but also a selling point that attracts many people including those coming from the other cities and other countries.

Thus, it is easy to find the combination of art, culture and creativity of people in Bandung. It can be in the form of art performances, fine art, clothes, and even food. Many new products were created in Bandung and they are not only famous in Bandung, but also in Indonesia and other countries such as Singapore and Malaysia.

Many creative-art and cultural-art festivals are held periodically or sometimes ten-tatively in Bandung. As the medium for showing the abilities of each community which grows in Bandung, it somehow makes Bandung have its own soul that is different from other cities in Indonesia.

Riksa Budaya Sunda[Preserving the Sundanese Culture]

Showing The True West Java

10

A country’s culture consists of many single parts of a region’s culture. As many people know, Indonesia is famous for the country that has

many regional cultures which have their own specialty and uniqueness. One of the parts that builds the richness of Indonesia’s culture is the culture from West Java region that is known as Sundanese culture.

Sundanese language is one of the parts of Sundanese culture. As the native language of West Java, Sundanese language has been a part of the soul of Sundanese peo-ple. Realizing that the culture of Sunda is an asset to be preserved, the student associa-tion of Sundanese literature and language (Himpunan Mahasiswa Pendidikan Basa Jeung Sastra Sunda) of Universitas Pendidi-kan Indonesia annually holds Riksa Budaya Sunda. This event has been regularly held since 1997. This event is also held to enliven the international day of native language which is celebrated on February 21st .

The sound of Gamelan traditional instru-ments warmly welcome you while you

“come to the area of Pusat Kegiatan Maha-siswa (PKM) building of Universitas Pendidi-kan Indonesia (UPI). You may experience the Sundanese atmosphere, as the stands at the event are beautifully decorated by thousands of different patterns of Batik with the stand keepers wearing Sundanese traditional cos-tume and Iket (headband) on their head. Iket is a piece of Batik (fabric dyed by using par-ticular method; covers removable wax to the part that wouldn’t be intended) that is folded into several kinds of folding method that has its own Sundanese philosophy. You can get your Iket and learn how to wear that piece of that material in one of the stands there.

If you are interested in learning the ancient scripts/characters of Sundanese, you can reach one of the stands there. There is a group of students who will give you a guide sheet about Sundanese ancient-characters, and tell you how to write something by those letters. You will feel that you are in the middle of old-world, learning how to write unexpect-ed symbols of letter that you haven’t seen before. It’s hard to do, but you can get your name written by different kinds of characters. Just put it on your hand or another part of your body to remember it. That will be unique, and different.

Many stands show you Sundanese culture

and artifacts such as Sundanese traditional equipment, kitchen utensils, weapons and so on. They also sell many Sundanese sou-venirs and handicrafts. You may buy the min-iature of Wayang Golek (wooden puppet) or Angklung Mini (tiny-sized Sundanese musical instruments), and show them to your friends who cannot come to this program. That’s the authentic Sundanese culture that you can bring to your home.

The stands of workshop, gallery, and exhibi-tion are on the first floor of PKM building. Meanwhile, you can get yourself to see the performance, competition and other interest-ing performances on the second floor of the building. A quite large stage is provided for several competitions and art performances within two days. Watch the performance of Sundanese musical poetry reading, Pupuh (the musical poetry that is bounded with a particular theme and number of words used) competition, theatrical performance, Sunda-nese story-telling competition for children even a standup comedy in Sundanese. Those who do not understand Sundanese language may be confused, but do not worry, the performer also brings some stage properties like a magician show. It somehow can help you to get what the comedian talks about through its body language and gesture.rbspensatrada.blogspot.com

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) is located in the north of Bandung, around 5 kilometers from the downtown. The access to go there can be found through several alternatives of public transportation services such as Angkot (mini van public transport) and the city bus that show the route to “Ledeng”. Just tell the driver that you will get off at UPI, and then they will stop the vehicle in front of the gate of UPI.

“The story telling competition of primary school students is really

attractive, since they blend the story, culture and their own

creativity as well. A story can be seen in various ways: each of the

stories is unique as the characters of each performer.”

Festival Drama Basa Sunda[Sundanese Theatrical-show Festival]

For those of you who are engrossed in theatrical show, you must be in love with this biennially festival. It is called “Festival Drama Basa Sunda”, a great

festival that binds all the communities of theatrical performing art from all around West Java. In this festival, you can get the new experience of being the witness of cultural art performances. Prepare yourself for the great and prestigious competition of theatrical per-forming art around March in even-numbered year.

As we live in the globalization era, the topic and the stories of the show in the festival in each year are various. The festival usually brings four different stories in Sundanese language that can be chosen freely by each theatrical art community. The four stories that were used in the last Festival Drama Basa Sunda included “Kawin Ucing”, “Satru”, “Pajaratan Cinta” and “Nagara Angar”. “Kawin Ucing” tells about the love story between two old people who are opposed by their grandsons. “Satru” is hostility between two parties in a political campaign. Meanwhile, “Pajaratan Cinta” is about several people who have an eager to kill their feeling for the person/thing that he/she loves. Whether a story can be repeatedly delivered by other

performers, each performer has to deliver his/her show in different ways. Therefore, you will find the creativity of each group which becomes the other attractions that will grab your attention. The festival regularly takes place in Gedung Kes-enian Rumentang Siang, located in Jl. Baranang Siang No. 1, Kosambi. It is the best venue in Bandung for conducting an indoor theatrical show, for you can feel the difference of sound effect that Gedung Kesenian Rumentang Siang can please you.

This festival is held in the range of 2-3 weeks long. The range is based on the number of partici-pants of this event. Usually, there are four shows in a day starting from 8 AM to 2 PM. To enter the hall, you must buy the cheap ticket first. Just pay for Rp. 15,000 for each show, and you can enjoy the 90 minute show and choose wherever avail-able seat you want in the hall.Leading in consistency for more than 20 years in

the preservation of Sundanese culture, Teater Sunda Kiwari as the organizing committee of this festival won the ap-preciation from Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia in 2008 and the appreciation of “Rancage 2008”. As the group of theatri-cal performing art that has been living for more than 35 years, Teater Sunda Kiwari has paid a high contribution in the preser-vation of Sundanese culture by organizing Festival Drama Basa Sunda. For the last two decades, this community has regu-larly held the competition of theatrical performing art for 12 times. This event is the real dedication towards the preserva-tion of the Sundanese language through a drama and theatrical performing art as the medium.

At the end of the festival, Teater Sunda

Kiwari will present their best show. In Festival Drama Basa Sunda 2012, they presented “Jen-dral Debel Nu Debil”. Literally, “Jendral Debel Nu Debil” means the crazy general. That was a drama for criticizing the working of the Indone-sian government. In this play, the general as the main character acted as an authoritarian person. He acted whatever he wanted and did not care of his people.

For several people who are involved in a theatri-cal art, being a part of theatrical performing art can encourage them to find their identity. They learn how to well behave by acting many other figures who are hypocritical. How about you? Is that being the audience can also teach you the other new experience?

Pentas Seni Budaya Manglayang

Pentas Seni Budaya Manglayang is an annual traditional arts festival, which is held down at Sentra Wisata Terpadu Manglayang and is now entering its third year. The event

offers a truly Sundanese atmosphere, as well as folk music, traditional arts and authentic Sundanese cuisine. What makes this festival special is that you can see the view and the relaxing atmosphere of mount Manglayang.

Manglayang is the name of the mountain located in the east of Bandung. This mountain is part of the mountain ranges consisting of mount Burangrang, the famous Tangkuban Parahu, Tunggul hill, and mount Manglayang. Manglayang has a height up to 1,818 meters above the sea level. In the clear weather, you will be able to see the beautiful-greenish peak of this mount in the distance.Combining the uniquness of traditional arts and culture with the beautiful scenery of mount Man-

glayang, this event is listed as the most awaited moment not only by the locals, but also by people from other regions around Bandung. Many people also come for its weekly traditional market that offers many kinds of culinary stands, outfits, handicrafts and others. Moreover, people come to this event for a recreation because of its fresh-weather venue that is set around the base of the mountain.

With the free admission, Pentas Seni Budaya Manglayang will be showcasing

traditional art performances such as Ram-pak Kendang (Bongo ensamble), Kacapi Suling (musical performance of traditional flute and stringed instruments), and Kuda Renggong (dancing horse). Furthermore, there are also interesting shows of Reak (a parade to express the joy), Jaipongan dance, Calung (an orchestra of wooden bars producing sound by bitting), Karinding (a piece of bamboo’s slice producing vibra-tion), Debus (a collaboration of Bantenese martial art and mystical show), Penca Kawih (martial arts, exhibited with the Sundanese traditional instruments) and the carnival of various kinds of Topeng Benjang (mask exhibition).

This event also offers you the daily show of Sundanese martial arts: Pencak Silat

and Benjang. Manglayang, the part of Cibiru region, is the place where Benjang, Pencak Silat and Reak come from. There are more than 40 paguron (school) of Benjang and Pencak Silat which exist in this region. The appearance by a group of paguron Pencak Silat opens the event in the morning, as well as the Reak performance as the closing.The event is run for three months from the beginning of April until June. The event is held for two days in a week (Saturday and Sunday), within the interval of two weeks. You can find this event starting from 6.30 AM

to 12.30 PM. Just imagine that the venue area is a court that is as large as the football field. The greenish background of the mountain sur-rounding it, and many trees around can make you feel peaceful and relaxed. Then, if you come earlier, the fresh morning weather will greet you softly. I recommend that you try Bandrek, the Sundanese beverage made of ginger essence, sold by some food sellers. It can heat your body in the morning.

So what are you waiting for? It’s the moment to watch and enjoy an exotic cultural feast at a suburban area of Bandung. Then, be a part of Sundanese art and cultural event with vari-ous traditional arts, tasty local cuisines, and the harmony of the folk music.

TESTIMONIAL

There are many food fenders around the venue. They sell local cuisines, starting from snacks, beverages or the extra-big portion meals like nasi liwet komplit (steamed rice wrapped in banana leaf, and served with fried chicken, fried tofu, and fresh vegetables).

There will be so many people who come to this place, because this place is famous for ‘the village fun, economic and

entertainment spot’. The access to reach the venue is so crowded. You need to walk for about 500 meters long from the main road. Never bring your own vehicle, because the parking

area is limited. That choice is recommended if you plan to come to the venue earlier in the morning.

UJUNG BERUNG

FESTIVAL

From the downtown of Bandung, you can just head to the east for about 12 kilom-eters and you will reach Ujung Berung. It is in the area of 1.034.411 hectares

of Bandung sub district located in the foot of mount Manglayang.

Ujung Berung has become the center of art and culture of Bandung (Pusat Seni Budaya Kota Bandung), since it is the one and only region in Bandung that has the biggest potential attrac-tions in Sundanese traditional art and culture. Most of the locals living in this region have preserved the Sundanese art and culture since their early lives. Compared to the other sub dis-tricts in Bandung, this region is on the top rank in terms of the number of musicians and kinds

of traditional art that is preserved. Most people living in Ujung Berung preserve the original traditional art from West Java such as Benjang, Singa Depok, Kuda Lumping, Ketuk Tilu, Pencak Silat, Gondang, Debus, Bajidoran and Angklung Buncis.

Being known as the center of Sundanese traditional art, it is easy to find a group of people who rehearse the art performance until midnight. They are people from a ling-kung seni (art and cultural community). You may hear the traditional musical instrument gently weeps from the studio/place where they are practicing for the performance.

Having such a big potential of tourism attrac-tions in art and cultural Sundanese tradition, there is an art and cultural festival which is held regularly and called “Ujung Berung Festival”. It has been held annually since its initial debut in 2005. With the full-desired soul of showing their uniqueness, the musician communities living in Ujung Berung try to impress people by the art and cultural traditions that are originally born from Sundanese. They assert that the art and tradition should be preserved by all Sundanese people. As a plus point, it can also be known by people outside. Everyone may join this annual festival that is usually held in the area of Alun-alun1 Ujung Berung for free. Once you come to

of wrestling/fighting sport originally from Japan. However, Benjang has its unique-ness. It has to be accompanied by Sunda-nese musical instruments such as kendang, tarompet, bedug and terbangan. When you want to see the musical performance, you can enjoy the Angklung Buncis exhibition that will give you some Sundanese songs.

TESTIMONIAL

Since the traffic to go to this venue is quite crowded in the morning and evening, you had better use a motorcycle taxi (Ojek) near the Cicaheum Bus Station. Using taxi or the other public transportations are recommended if you have extra time to spend on the way.

As Ujung Berung is quite far from the downtown, most of the food sellers around only sell Indonesian food. Most of

them sell Sundanese and Padangnese food. Those foods may have different taste from the western, but all the

Indonesian foods are worth trying. Most Sundanese will taste sweet, while the Padangnese is known for its spicy

dishes.

If you really do not want to take the first choice, you can head to the east of the Alun-alun (city square) and grab yourself fast food such as Kentucky Fried Chicken right in front of Griya Mart or just head to the west for a Dunkin

TO EAT


All the venues of this festival are located in the area that are easy to reach. However, getting around is not that quick and easy because the traffic is heavy in several busy spots. These venues can be reached by public transporta-tion, like Angkot. The most efficient choice is Taxi. Since it will serve you directly to the venue of the event, the average fare is quite cheap. It ranges from Rp. 20,000 – Rp. 50,000 (US$ 2-5).

TES“In order to welcome the International Wayang

Festival in 2013, this event seems to be made as a good

welcoming event to heat the following moment. We can see anything, especially about the

development and creation in the area of Puppet show.”

Festival Paduan Angklung [Angklung Orchestra Festival]The Sounds of Bamboo Blends in Your Ears

54

Festival Paduan

Angklung [Angklung Orchestra

Festival]

Having an eager to show the ability of playing Angklung1 and to improve the quality, the students community of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) who

has the same interest in a Sundanese tradi-tional music instrument, Angklung, regularly presents “Festival Paduan Angklung” in the period of July to December of the odd-num-bered year.

Having already existed for more than a decade, the festival always presents different themes each year. The 2009’s theme was “An-gklung in Classic”. In 2011, they held “Sounds of Indonesian Heritage: Know It, Love It, Revive It” as the theme to be highlighted. As the implementation of the theme, the choice of songs both for the competition and for the concert consisted of the Indonesian songs such as, Sarinande, Telaga Biru, Ibu Kita Kar-tini, Aryati, Jali-jali, Keroncong Kemayoran, Ati Raja, Indonesia Tanah Pusaka and so on.

1Angklung is a traditional musical instrument from West Java that made of Bamboo. As a traditional musical instrument, Angklung usually has five tones known as Salendro and Pelog. In 1938, Daeng Soetigna modi-fied the traditional Angklung tones into western tones, so it could play songs in general.

JULY - DECEMBER@ Aula Barat of Institut Teknologi Bandung


“The festival is actually built in the form of national competition for several dif-ferent categories (Elementary School, Junior High School, High School, Uni-versity, and community). This festival is an event to appreciate the harmony of this traditional music instrument that is made of bamboo. Through this festival, you can feel the taste of the combina-tion between traditional and modern music delivered with both diatonic and pentatonic tones. In other words, the musical instrument is traditional, but the different kinds of Angklung can be used to play each traditional song with pentatonic tone and all general songs which use the diatonic tone.

This three-day festival begins from the opening ceremony which will present the two main shows: “Appreciating An-gklung Performance” and “Interactive

Angklung Performance”. “Appreciating Angklung Performance” is the recital showed by the new member of the Keluarga Paduan Angklung (KPA). This part of the event is made to show the ability of KPA’s new member. Besides that, it is made to light up the spirit of the new members in the form of a show composition. Then, in the Interactive Angklung Performance you will be given a chance to play Angklung. A selected conductor will guide you to play Angklung. Do not be afraid to try it. Usually the songs are not the complicated ones. Just try to play Angklung together with all the audiences and the big family of KPA. How proud of you! You can be part of this concert!

The main event of this festival is about the compe-tition of Angklung orchestra. It is held for the first two days. Angklung performance by the partici-pants in this festival becomes unique because they get the experience of excitement to combine this traditional music instrument with several supporting music instruments such as Guitar, Piano, and Percussion. Each group of participant plays 3 songs that consist of 1 compulsory song, 1 optional song arranged by the participant, and 1 optional song that is provided by the organizing committee. Daeng Soetigna, the founder of Ang-klung, arranges the latter.

After the 13th show has been held, the clos-ing concert of this biennially festival is the most awaiting show to see. It is the precious moment to reflect and express the love for their cultural heritage and the hard works for moths for their best performance. On this last day, the winners of each category will represent their best perfor-mance to all of the audience in a hall. Lastly, the performance from KPA will lead you to the feeling of the real Indonesian heritage that indulges your heart with harmony of bamboo musical instru-ment. In 2011, Indonesia Pusaka and Kemenangan Hati were the songs that are presented. Because this moment is a combination of the best perfor-mances, the admission fee for this day is a bit more expensive than the two days before, around Rp. 20.000-Rp. 40.000.

Braga FestivalCelebrating the Anniversary of The City

60

When you notice the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, the most prestig-ious avenue in Paris, Bandung has Jalan Braga, the most famous street

that has become the center of attraction. Jalan Braga is a small street in downtown Bandung and it was famous for its nickname “De meest Europ-eessche winkle straat van Indie” which means the European leading area of shopping around Dutch-Indies. Being well known as the icon of Bandung, it is lined with chic cafés, boutiques, restaurants, pastry shops and now there are some hotels with excellent services. The art deco architecture of the surrounding buildings somehow brings people who pass it to the ambiance of a European city. It also harks people back to the fact that Bandung was built in the era of Dutch colonialism, remind-ing them to the historical values that cannot be separated from the buildings. Because of these potential attractions among locals and tourists, Jalan Braga is selected to become a place to conduct the annual local festival of art and culture called “Braga Festival”.

The uniqueness of Bandung can be seen from the variety of things in this festival. Communi-ties, fashion, art, culture, and food coming from Bandung become the attractions for people outside Bandung. Once you visit this festival that is usually held at the end of the year (September-December), you will find yourself in the middle of the exhibitions, art performances, bazaars, workshops, parades and all activities concerned with art and culture.

Here you can find performances not only in modern art performances, but also in the con-

PASAR SENI[The Art Market]

The Exhibition of Artistic Creativities and Scientific Creations

PASAR SENI[The Art Market]

If you are looking for art exhibitions or perfor-mances, Pasar Seni [The Art Market] has it all. The event offers many interesting art performances that can be enjoyed starting from the wide range

of musical performances, traditional and contempo-rary art performances, to dance shows. Here also, you can find many artists who show their creations at the exhibition booths and some decorated spots around the venues. Hundreds of booths sell unique and interesting goods that are mostly handmade. Be ready to explore all interesting spots in this event. You cannot afford even to miss a single booth, for Pasar Seni is held once in four to five years. While visiting this mega event, you do not need to worry for food, because there are many stands that sell various food, snacks, and beverages.

This big event is hosted by the students of Faculty of Art and Design of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) and around 10,000 people come to this event each time. In the previous period, Pasar Seni was not a regular event, because the artists worked depend-ing on their mood, so they couldn’t work with a cer-tain schedule. Consequently, once this event is held, people come with full of enthusiasm to see what is happening there. Thousands of people came there, and what the student of ITB expected became true. They really want to break the paradigm of the art that is mostly known as the expensive thing. They want everyone to be able to appreciate art without a thought like “entering the gallery is too luxurious”. This celebration is actually aimed to make the art itself closer to people.

In October 2010, Pasar Seni was held for the tenth time after its debut in 1972. From the beginning, the event had been featured with many attractions.

“Since the hosts of this event were students of a technological institute, you will find the elements of technology in several attractions such as the Vibrator Room attraction where you can experi-ence the earthquake simulator and Zone of No Network Coverage. In this zone, you will lose your cell-phone signal in the area of that venue. If you want to know why, just ask them. They will tell you how it works. Yes, you not only can ap-preciate the art, but also learn something new in this event.

Many of the paintings, sculptures, and statues made by distinguished artists are shown here. In the exhibition, the art goods are also for sale. Collectors come to this event to grab their favorite artist’s masterpiece. In the 2010 event, the paintings of Jeihan Sukmantoro and Sunaryo were the most awaited by some collectors. You not only can see the fine art paintings of those artists, but also the works of many other artists around Indo-nesia as well as from around the world such as USA, Malaysia, and Germany.

Pasar Seni is usually held down in the area of ITB. Since the institution is the largest institute in Bandung, you do not need to worry about the space to be explored. They provide wide area for the event as well as places just for you to sit down and have a rest under the bushy trees.

Be ready for the unpredictable. You will be trapped in the crowd. Thousands of the visitors come from other cities. Almost all the areas of the district are packed with people and congested with motor vehicles. This is a rare moment when the pieces of art are not only exhibited, but also for sale in very low price. This is also the moment of ITB students to expose their artistic creative scientific creations to the world.

“If you are looking for art exhibitions or performanc-es, Pasar Seni has it all.”

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Being the capital city of West Java, it is easy to reach Bandung. You can

get to Bandung by land or air transportation. For those who come from

the area around West Java, you may use several options of land trans-

portation such as, bus, shuttle bus, travel coaches, train or a private car;

and, for those who stay far away from Bandung, you may take either

international or domestic flight to Bandung international airport, Husein

Sastranegara.

Land Transportation

If you come from the surrounding area of West Java such as Jakarta or

Banten, using land transportation can be a good option. Beside the low

budget, you can have a few stops over several exciting spots along the

way to Bandung. If you come from Jakarta, you may choose the way

through Puncak Pass, the area of mountainous highland in Bogor.This

spot has a nice atmosphere of the green hills and tea plantation. How-

ever, if you have limited time, you can simply choose the faster way

through Cipularang toll road. It also provides you beautiful scenery of tea

plantation, rice fields, and rock-cliff area in some sectors as well as great

rest areas.

If you choose the toll road from Jakarta, the normal time estimation to

reach Bandung is about 3 hours. Meanwhile, if you take the way through

Puncak Pass-Bogor, you will arrive in Bandung in about 4-5 hours. How-

ever, in case on weekend, the traffic is crowded, so you should prepare

your time 2-3 hours longer than the normal one.

You can reach the city either way by bus, a private car, or a shuttle bus.

The buses from several bus stations in Jakarta will drive you to Leuwi


72

Panjang, the name for bus station in Bandung. Meanwhile, the shuttle

busses from Jakarta to Bandung provide its service to several center

points in Bandung such as Pasteur, Cihampelas and Cipaganti. So, which

service suits you?

Are you from the east of Java Island? Don’t worry, it is easy for you to

choose the railway schedule. There are Argo Wilis, Turangga and Mutiara

Selatan Train that have daily schedule from Gubeng in Surabaya. If you

start your trip from Malang, you can use Malabar train from Kotabaru

Station to reach Bandung. Then, Lodaya Pagi and Lodaya Malam have

daily schedule from Solo Balapan Station in Solo. Meanwhile, a number

of Harinas are operated daily to serve your travelling experience from Se-

marang. Just find out the proper schedule that suits you in the train sta-

tions in that city. It is also possible for you to reach Bandung from Jakarta

(Gambir and Jatinegara) by Argo Parahyangan. Just have a seat for only

Rp. 55,000 then you can enjoy your 3 hours trip to Bandung.

Air Transportation

What if you live far away from Bandung? Eventhough the cost of the

transport is quite expensive; using air transportation will be more effec-

tive. Air transportation services will fly you faster rather than land trans-

portation. There are several choices of international and domestic flights

with the variety of price range. You can get Bandung from Bali, Surabaya,

Medan, Batam and several surrounding countries like Singapore and

Kuala Lumpur. Husein Sastranegara is the international airport located in

the center of Bandung. From the airport you can either use a taxi or ang-

kot (minvan public transport), and it takes you half an hour to one hour to

get to the theatre depending on the traffic.
