Matswapati

Hi. I'm going to tell you about one of my school's event, Matswapati.
So, Matswapati is a West Java culture festival. It's held at September, 27th 2014 in Bali Street field, near my school. This culture festival is the first culture festival SMAN 3 ever made after 7 years of vacuum.

Matswapati was opened at 10 pm, with an opening ceremony by our mayor, Ridwan Kamil.

And after that, a traditional musical instrument called Calung started to play. Calung is a traditional Sundanese musical instrument. It's also a prototype of musical instrument we called "Angklung". After that, there's another traditional performance, like Benjang, Degung, Reog. And then, there's Musik Klasik 3. Musik Klasik 3 is one of the extracurricular from SMAN 3, which performed a song with an orchestra. After that, there's Pencak Silat, and Tiloe's Theatre, another SMAN 3 extracurricular. They perfomed some kind of a drama, in a theatre. And then Keluarga Paduan Angklung 3, another SMAN 3 extracurricular again. It's an extracurricular that play songs with angklung, a traditional musical instrument from Java. And after that, there's Sambasunda Junior, Wayang Golek Giriharja, and the famous Saung Angklung Udjo, and Indonesian Bamboo Community. And then there's Barsena with Kelompok Vokal 3, an extracurricular from SMAN 3. And there's Indonesian famous singer, Glenn Fredly. Then the event was closed by a performance called Debus. It's a traditional magic performance that allowed the Debus player to do a lot of dangerous things, such ass eat glasses, walk on fire, etc.

It's a really nice event. I hope SMAN 3 will continue to represent their appreciation of West Java culture with a culture festival like Matswapati.
