It's been a long time since I wrote my last article, this time I will write the report about charity event which aims to help earthquake and tsunami victims that happened lately in Japan. This event was held on April 10, 2011 at Arma resort, Ubud, Bali. With the theme "Pray For Japan" which is organized by Japanese community who lived in Ubud and Ubud local peoples that are sympathetic to the situation in Japan lately.
The event was planed to be start at 15:00 in the open field garden of Arma resort, but the rain was so big and the event was moved to the other stage with the roof still inside Arma. The organizers has worked very hard for the event to run smoothly, it seems not easy to held a fundraising event in the bad weather. I was planed to come to the event around 14:30, but the rain is so heavy and I waited for the rain until 17:00.
Once I arrived at the location, I was quite surprised by the audience that very enthusiastic about the event. The show of the event was very spectacular that performed by Balinese artists that has been very famous in Bali or even in the world such as Balinese choreographer and dancer "I Nyoman Sura", Bamboo percussion and ensemble "Suar Agung" that leaded by Balinese famous art directory "I Ketut Suwentra", and Balinese pop artist "Jun Bintang".
Here some pictures and video that I take during the event.
The Opening that performed by Balinese bamboo percussion "Suar Agung" the percussion was very magic, I guess this is the best bamboo percussion in the world. This orchestra is also performed along the event and collaborated with other artists that participated in this event especially with the dancers.
Awesome dance performed by "I Nyoman Sura", this guy was very successful bring the exotic sense into the stage, he moved like a spirit in sadness and sorrow in the beginning of his performance, and the spirits were show the passion to rise up as the symbolic of the Japanese that have to be rise up to rebuild their country and rise up their spirit of life.
Jun Bintang, this balinese pop singer sung 4 song, 3 song are his own created song, and 1 song is one love by Bob marley. The audiences are very entertained by his performance. His also collaborated with Nyoman sura that performed mask dance as you can see in the picture.
This video is one of Suar Agung Bamboo Orchestra's performance, the title of this performance is "Teruntuhan" the sound is not very good cause the children were also play the bamboo percussion that sell in this event for fundraising. I hope someday I can record the full version of this orchestra when performing.
We are praying for all of you in Japan, hope everything will be better and better, so Japan can rise again as before, or even much better than before
