In March 2007, I watched Alih PungGONG (above). One of the most amazing theatre productions. It was primarily a gamelan music performance, that captivated me beyond words, by a group called Rhythm in Bronze. They are 12 years old this year and will be throwing a show this weekend with a birthday theme. To illustrate the impression they left on me, I got tickets for the upcoming show two weeks ago.

Since I can’t decide which song from her I’d like to put up here, I’ll insert a clip to illustrates better her significance.
About ten months ago, I distinctively remember hearing the news online. As her passing was inevitable, the sadness were proportionate, enough that I remember all day singing Mama Africa (Chico Cesar’s version) to my then eleven day old nephew.

Buenos Aires. Jan 2009.

On my last day of the 5+ week trip of the continent. In the train from two ends of the line. Tigre (the delta) to Retiro (Capital Federal/city centre). This man came in a few stops before Belgrano. I knew he was coming as I heard him sing in the previous carriage, so when he came into mine, I got up and stood in the middle to get a good recording. Hope you enjoy the classical song as did I. If you don’t, I suppose you can call me posting it a wasted effort.

Recently, I got a set of new songs that I seem rather hooked to. It is indeed a breath of fresh air and I’m not sure if it’s a case of affecionate withdrawal symptom, or fantastic taste in music. Either way, it’s a blowhorn call for a perasan case.
