kids marching band: papua’s ethnic edition

Depok, June 2008

They act like Papua’s people, even they are not Papua’s. They dressed just like them. But, they are’not the members of indigenous tribes from Papua. They were just an ordinary elementary school students from small city near Jakarta. They were compete to be the best of junior marching band in Depok.

Mereka bertingkah bak orang Papua. Para siswa sekolah dasar asal Depok ini berpakaian selayaknya anggota suku-suku asli Papua. Ya, itu mereka lakukan sebagai bagian dari atraksi gelar marching band pelajar tingkat Sekolah Dasar se-Kota Depok. Mereka sedang berkompetisi untuk menjadi yang terbaik.

Nice combination between urban and ethnic-traditional culture

Kombinasi antara budaya perkotaan dan etnik-tradisional.

The drumb harmony …………..

“I try to smile like the indigenous of Papua. Do I like them?”

“Aku mencoba tersenyum ala orang-orang Papua. Miripkah aku?”

“Beta orang dari Maluku, bukan dari Papua. Tapi beta cinta saudara beta dari Papua.”
