HOUSE OF ANGKLUNG
House of Angklung was established in 2007 under the auspices of Angklung Rumpun Wargi Pasundan, a DC-area cultural association with a particular interest in the Sundanese culture of West Java, Indonesia. From traditional regional folk songs and classic Indonesian ballads, to Sundanese pop and American music. HOA has showcased the versatility of the humble angklung, a traditional bamboo rattle. Collaboration with local musicians and other performers led to the ensemble's 2015 full-length concert "Pulau" (Islands).
HOA recently returned from performing in Atlanta at the Specialty Coffee American Association Expo, where Indonesia was the featured country. Though its participation in Angklung Goes to School (AGTS), the ensemble has brought the sounds of bamboo to more than 2,000 students in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Connecticut (YALE University). Membership in House of Angklung is open to people of all nationalities and has included Indonesian Americans as well as members from Brazil, the Philippines, and the United States.
