Over 5,100 individuals joined in at the Indonisian Festival on the National Mall in Washington DC on Saturday to achieve a Guiness World Record for the largest group playing Indonesia’s indigenous instrument, the angklung. The festival focused on multiculturalism so there was a wide array of performers, from African American gospel singers, to Muslim rap artists with steelpan accompaniment, to R&B singer, Raheem Devaughn. And in case you got enough multiculturalism, they also had an African American young man perform the Indonesian national anthem, and an Indonesian young woman perform the United States national anthem. They both had amazing voices. In all a fun and interesting event.
I saw the advertisement on Fox news with Holly. They have a beautiful embassy. I wish I could have gone to the festival. I am sure they had no problems like DC carnival but that is a whole other story.
I don’t recall noticing the embassy, I must check it out.
