The culture in our country was very heterogenous, a great number that were beautiful to be seen and not a little that made the smile was sucked when witnessing the other culture of areas, because unique and possibly strange in the eyes of the other person. There was culture that was pure on the habit of an area, but quite a few combinations from some culture. Like that was seen by me in last Sunday (on March 02 2008), I was invited by my friend to attend his marriage reception in Curug Tangerang. Departed from Bogor around 10.30 after arriving in Curug and asked here and there about his location finally arrived in the location around 12.45 because from the main road to have to enter again the village road.
After parking the car, we also entered the place of the reception, where this reception was held in the page in front of his house that was spacious enough. From the quite moderate distance was seen by me pengantin him wore clothes pengantin in an Western style, where pengantin the man wore the coat and his woman wore white clothes that behind him were long (I not knew whether his name:)). After giving congratulations and (of course) gave angpao:) we were also told to eat. The uniqueness in front of us was 2 jejer food in writing "Thionghoa Food and Indonesian Food", because indeed our friend a Chinese the Fortress (like that people every) and more again unique (according to me) this marriage reception was entertained by Gambang Kromong, unlike the other marriage reception in Tangerang that once I datangin where always in entertained by the single organ or the certain band.
I quite enthusiastic also paid attention to Gambang Kromong, because quite new this time witnessed directly art like this, where his music the combination from several cultures, if ga was wrong possibly the combination from Betawi, China and Arabian (said my friend, true or not? ), his musical instrument had the guitar, the re-chapter, kecrek, the whistle (only his voice difference), and several musical instruments struck like bonang (I not knew his name) also had several people put on-couple berlenggak lenggok, for quite a long time also I paid attention to this art from songs that not clear (because kekencengan his music) to several songs slow that was moderate also didenger:) I so rather thought, why if his art gambang kromong, clothes pengantin him not was adapted to the art? Certainly when indeed had his clothes (was not ok? ). But although I stayed happy to see him. I was very grateful very much could have the opportunity to see culture of the other area. Love I could not make his photograph.
