Cool! Vocational School students set record with Angklung performance
A new Indonesian history was created. IPB Vocational School students from the Digital Communication and Media Study Program (Prodi) won a record from Original Rekor Indonesia (ORI) through Moeda Bersoeara. The record was obtained for the performance of angklung accompanied by the most regional songs by 768 participants across generations.
Moeda Bersoeara is an activity organized by the D1 practicum class of the Digital Communication and Media Study Program Batch 59 of IPB University Vocational School. This activity was organized to fulfill the Communication Event Practice course.
“We chose angklung because it is not only a regional musical instrument, but also plays an important role in various traditional ceremonies. Angklung has also been designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a world cultural heritage from Indonesia, 16 November 2010,” said Muhamad Habibie, one of the committee representatives.
Habibie said that the running of the Moeda Bersoeara activity was due to many parties who had helped the event run smoothly. Among others, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), the Bogor City Tourism and Culture Office (Disparbud), the Bogor City Sports Office (Dispora), Sound of Angklung (SoA), sponsors and media partners as well as the committee who have helped run the event.
“This record-breaking effort is expected to make angklung continue to rise. It will be loved by all generations and resonate not only in its home region, West Java and Indonesia but also around the world,” he said.
The record, he continued, could also be a proud achievement for IPB Vocational School and Bogor City. The 16 folk songs played include:
