KLPac Attack

Alih PungGONG is definately a must watch.

It started off with the members of Bronze In Rhythm walking in slowing with each beat of the gong played. The two ladies leading the group, one on the left and right carried an umbrella each. The other members then proceeded to their respective instruments.

They started off with a very slow piece. I thought it was going to be boring. However, the pace picked up during the second set and the movement along with the 'drama' by Bronze In Rhythm has to be applauded.

Each set had its own movement interwined according to the music. They even involved the audience in one of their set. The question thrown to us was "What is the essence of a woman/man to you." Two of the members of Bronze In Rhythm then read out the meaning of woman and man from the 'Kamus Dewan' dictionary. Upon completion, they went straight into their third set.

The following sets were upbeat tempo of the gongs. The members definately showed their versatility by changing places to play various gamelan ensembles set up in the middle of the stage. They potrayed playing the gamelan is just as fun as playing any other instruments and did justice for it.

The show lasted for an hour. So go watch it!
