Srimpi in the City…

I got this invitation today from a gamelan friend for a srimpi performance in New York. If you’re interested in seeing srimpi (a classical Javanese court dance) performed in person, make sure to RSVP. As you can hear in the video below, srimpi is performed to the accompaniment of Javanese gamelan, and the singing of Javanese poetry. It’s just one of the many beautiful performing arts traditions that I love from the “most populous Muslim country in the world”…
