Celempungan is a Sundanese musical genre that includes several musical instruments such as kacapi, kendang, goong/gong, and suling or rebab (optional), and Juru Kawih (singer). Kendang, the drum, controls the tempo of the ensemble and reinforces the meter.
Celempungan is named for the
celempung, a bamboo tube zither from West Java.[1] Celempungan ensembles had their golden era from 1935 to 1945.[2] In modern celempungan ensembles, the celempung may be replaced by the siter, kacapi, and kendang.[1] Troupes' musical repertoires include gamelan salendro kliningan.[3] Dutch ethnomusicologist Jaap Kunst
described celempungan in his 1973 book Music in Java:
"The chelempung-orchestra (ill. 131) is fortunate in being widely-spread. The name is derived from the
ketuk. The other instruments in this combination—another essential element of which seems to be a female voice—are: rebab, suling, goong awi, and—not always, however—a kachapi."[1]
