Jaipong Dance

Jaipongan was born through a creative process from the cold hand of H. Suanda around 1976 in Karawang, jaipongan is a claim that combines some elements of Karawang traditional arts such as pencak silat, wayang golek, banjet mask, banjet mask, and others. Jaipongan in Karawang grew rapidly in 1976, marked by the emergence of the recording Jaipongan SUANDA GROUP with simple instruments consisting of drums, percussion, kecrek, goong, rebab and sinden or interpreters. With the media of cassette tapes without the label (indi label) jaipongan began to be distributed independently by H Suanda in the Karawang and surrounding areas. Unexpectedly Jaipongan received a warm welcome, then Jaipongan became a means of entertainment for the Karawang community and received a sizeable appreciation from all the people of Karawang and became a new phenomenon in the Karawang cultural arts space, especially the art of entertainment for the people. Jaipongan's position at that time was an alternative entertainment performance art from traditional arts that had grown and developed first in Karawang such as pencak silat, banjet mask, tilu tap, tarling and wayang golek. The existence of jaipong gives a new and different color and style in its packaging form, starting from the arrangement of the musical composition to the dance composition.
