At the end of the show, it looks like everybody were "running" (pas de salute, de rien). I think they are going to march to battle with Kurawa, he...he...he....

Almost. Just setting up for the next group of players. :)

Bagus bagus. Bonangannya muanteb.

I don't hear gender. I think, it challenges to record gender on gending bonang or soran type.

If balungan group plus bonang play a little bit low volume, may be we will be able to hear more clearly ketuk kempyang, kenong and gong, and as a whole piece, it would be better.

It is cool, anyway.

The mic on the camcorder can't do justice to a live performance. Very astute comment, as well.
