nice perform by this group.tink only this group have this kind of performance.

[toko2050]

Well this was the first time a collaboration from several organisations namely NUS's Singa Nglaras Gamelan Ensemble, Tedja Timur, Wimba Nareswara and Dermaga Seni Pusaka. Its not easy to coordinate all of their performance in one sitting. They have work very hard to make the 60th anniversary of Tedja Timur "Ngawur" a success.
