Menyedihkan, dijaman dahulu kita sudah punya budaya yg seindah ini, itu menandakan bahwa peradaban kita pernah maju. Tapi kenapa bisa sampai dijajah. Tentu, gara-gara ketidak-akuran para bangsawan. Saling berebut kekuasaan. Sehingga bisa dimanfaatkan. Hampir setiap generasi kekuasaan pasti terjadi perang besar.

Hehe, everybody is more interested in the video than the music, me too :) Any details? Your private video? Is there more? Raises utmost curiosity! I'd love to see every minute you have...

Hi Pieter, This video is fantastic! Do you have an idea which area in Central Java this comes from? I was especially fascinated by the kuda kepang. I saw one very similar to this several years ago. Thanks, dewianjasmara

As far as I can gather it's from or near Bantul, Central Java.

Thanks Pieter for uploading invaluable video clips. It would be great if you could get the original audio and upload it also together.

Please up load more.

Hi, thx for ur response. THERE IS NO ORIGINAL AUDIO of this film from 1925, since IT IS A SILENT MOVIE. Therefore my idea to add a 'related' recording of Javanese gamelan music. See 'more info'.
