(3rd) Matswapati

Hi, actually i want to write this a long time ago but i don't have any time to write it, i only have it now. What's Matswapati? Matswapati is one of character in Wayang lore but now i didn't tell about it, what i tell about is a culture festival in my school. The name of the festival is Matswapati. It's the latest culture festival in SMA 3 Bandung since 2010. It was held at 27th September 2014. It was featured Glenn Fredly, Barsena, IBC, KPA 3, T'ST, and many others.

Actually, Matswapati open gate at 10 o'clock, but i was arrived there about 10.30. There i saw Benjang, kind of traditional wrestling of Sunda but it's different. The objective of the game is to make the enemy back's touch the ground. You can't punch or kick each other. When i saw it, it's pretty awesome.

After that i went to the food court. There i saw a lot of traditional food such as bandrek, bajigur, dawet, timbel, and many more. At that time i bought dawet. It's a drink made of water from coconut milk and contained a green flour. It's sweet and delicious.

And then, there was a MK3 concert. MK3 is an extracurricular in SMAN 3 Bandung mainly playing classical music, but they can also use some modern music. I was amazed at that time. The music they played was really good. After watching MK3, i ate lunch with Nasi Timbel. It's almost the same like usual rice, but it's using banana leaf as the plate.

After eating, KPA3 was showed up. KPA3 is an extracurricular in SMAN 3 Bandung mainly playing Angklung, a traditional instrument made of bamboo. Even though the instrument is traditional, at that time KPA3 wasn't played a traditional music, but playing modern music such as Fix You. After watching KPA3, i left the Matswapati. Actually i missed one important thing here, Glenn Fredly was invited to Matswapati too, but i'm too tired so i came back home.It was amazing culture festival. I hope someday my school make another culture festival again like Matswapati
