Traditional Arts in Bandung

Bandung has many traditional arts which make it is known not only as a 'shopping city' but also an art city. Some of those are tari jaipong, angklung, rampak kendang, kacapi suling, and wayang golek. Tari jaipong is a dance that shows joy and simplicity of past people. Jaipong can be danced by one or several dancer. The melody from music instruments like rebab, kendang, and goong gives the rythm of Jaipong.
