SEA Annotations
en Recorded in a house on stilts in the court of the raja of Bima, Pa' Pawan house. The violin player called Jakariah, is part of the Organization La Mbila, a poly-instrumentalist who has already left for Jakarta. The violin tuning is E A D. The player is not flexible but he plays fair and with energy, identical to the violins of Sengkang (Sulawessi). The vocals are a bit weak. The violin would have been brought by the Portuguese in the 17th century.
