ESTIKA DAYA GROUP - DEGUNG ESTIKA DAYA

Here's a nice degung cassette by a group called the Estika Daya Group. This was a group made up of women working for an Indonesian bank called the Bank Bumi Daya in Jakarta.... I guess they made this as a present for their customers... Funny thing that, every time I see an all female gamelan group it's always degung music and it seems there were quite a few of those, the most famous one being the Dewi Pramanik Group with Euis Komariah and often Mamah Dasimah too. Here's a few examples of groups like this (from my original photograph collection):

In the last photograph there's a man playing the suling (flute) though.... GET IT HERE Enjoy!
