FOREIGNERS experience REAL INDONESIAN CULTURE | Ebeg, Gamelan, Calung | Banyumas @calungkucalungmu6907

In this video, we dive deep into Indonesian culture in Banyumas, Central Java.

We had a jam packed day full of learning and excitement! We visited Oemah Gamelan where they make musical instruments and also have live performances. We visited a local performing arts school, SMK Negeri 3. We watched a live performance of Ebeg, where the performers entered trance and were possessed by spirts. And finally, we spent time with a local family and learned about Gamelan Calung!

Check out the video to learn more about this culturally rich area of Indonesia!
