What came next was something of kinda unexpected. I knew it from the rundown of the show that some Pansori would be presented as well. But, never had I imagined that the one who was presenting the pansori was none other than Mr. Wang Gi Seok 왕기석. We were informed that he was one of the famous 소리꾼 or Pansori singer in Korea. The notable one to say respect.
So, of course the audience expected something special. And special he was.
He managed to blend himself with the audience even with the Indonesian team who were sitting next to him on stage. See the picture?
Could not have imagined a better show last night.
Then came Ronggeng dance from Indonesian team. These ladies were showing off their talent of speeding up dance 'sort of' since the speed of rhythm is one of the visible characteristics that Betawi dance possesses. They nailed it.
A great performance indeed.
What would a Korean culture show without one of its representative Gayageum. Yes, this string musical instrument managed to bring us into the realm of serenity and calmness once the first pick of string was touched by one of the students who happened to be a student of Malay-Indonesian Department at HUFS.
In a sense, this also highlighted the spirit of youth in nurturing the traditional legacies of both countries.
