Rawalpindi, 13 November 2022 (TDI): Visitors to the 2nd Pindi Food Fest 2022 in Ayub National Park, Rawalpindi were astounded by the ladies of the Indonesian Embassy as they performed “Angklung” to traditional songs and the Beatles’ “Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da.”
Natsha Baig, a well-known singer from Pakistan, performed at the Festival among other artists such as Chef Gulzar, Shan Khan, Bakhsi Brother, Mash Baloch, and Hassan Darbuka.
A bamboo frame with two to four bamboo tubes hung inside it and tied with rattan cords is the structure of the Indonesian musical instrument known as the angklung.
Since each Angklung only produces one note or chord at a time, melodies need the cooperation of many players.
Indonesian society’s cooperative and sociable nature in all its diversity is captured in Angklung.
The Angklung is a musical instrument frequently used in Indonesian rituals such as rice planting, harvesting, and circumcision.
It is intimately tied to traditional traditions, arts, and cultural identity. Angklung was named a masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of mankind by UNESCO in 2010 in recognition of its distinctive sound and philosophical significance.
