Babaran Pusaka
That morning, Bangkit Sholahudin or known as Bangkit was opening a collection of several keris belonging to the previous hamlet’s leader. Every leadership period, the Head of Sawit Hamlet across generations always has a “tosan aji” as a form of representation of the depiction of every situation and condition. Considering that the keris has become a familiar object with the lives of Sawit residents, Bangkit as the current Head of Sawit hamlet tried to initiate the maintenance and preservation of the keris which has been on hiatus for a long time. Towards the afternoon, Bangkit Sholahudin met Mbah Jaman, one of the residents who had a keris but was not properly cared for. Finding these problems, Bangkit Sholahudin invited several residents to initiate a procession of “jamasan” within the scope of Sawit Hamlet in cooperation with the non-governmental organizations.

Angklung: A Celestial Resonance
The angklung is an Indonesian musical instrument found in records since 1704. It consists of two to four tuned bamboo tubes tied in a rectangular, partitioned frame made of white bamboo, which is tightly bound with rattan cord. The angklung is traditionally played on important events and ceremonies during periods of rice planting, harvest, and circumcision. Angklung culture was transmitted through non-formal education within each family, but has since been incorporated into the formal education curriculum. The shape of the angklung has both symbolic and philosophical values: the tubes of varying sizes symbolize the duty of the strong and powerful to protect the weak and vulnerable.

Pa'ta la (Myanmar Xylophone_Metal)
The earliest mention of the pattala (pa'tala:) is in the Bago Kalyani Sima lithic inscription of A.D. 1479 enumerating the presents exchanged with the king of present day Sri Lanka. It was mentioned by Court official Twinthin Mingyi in 1798 as one of the six instruments of the anyein (non- dramatic dance and comedy) ensemble. F.A Neilly, author of a book on Thailand, wrote " The Thai xylophone is derived from the Myanmar xylophone which the Myanmar play exceedingly well". Thai Research Society Vol 69 Part 1-2 of January- July 1951 carried long article by USA Kent University School of Music Terry E Miller and Music Department of Shrinaken University researcher Jaran Chaichonperut. War between the two countries made cultural exchange of musical instruments. There is evidence to show that the xylophone was extant earlier in Myanmar than in Thailand.\nEarlier, softwood was used for the mallets. Now they are made of teak, padauk, cutch, yindai or pyinkado. The mallets are eight inches long with a soft knob of cotton, felt or velvet at the tip. The resonance box is usually made of teak and decorated with pieces of glass of various colors and gilt. Earlier the box constituted one body. Now it is made collapsible for easier transportation. Thought the slats are generally bamboo, there can also be brass or iron. The Myanmar pattala is tuned to the diatonic scale. However, Myanmar chau' pau' and hni pau' instead of being equivalent to international E and B notes are a semitone each Lower. The Myanmar pattala covers one octave below middle C and two octaves above thereby encompassing altogether three octaves. The Myanmar pattala is composed of the slats, the resonance box and the mallets. The beginner is trained to first play left and right strikers alternately in the "maun nin:" method of play. Then the student is trained to strike the mallets simultaneously using the "zoun" method. Traditionally, the player tearns to keep to the timing beats by playing the short music piece beginning "htan taya tei: shin" .

Kun Lbokator
Kun Lbokator is an ancient Khmer martial arts dating back to at least the Angkorian period, which aims to inculcate and develop mental and physical strength and discipline in its practitioners, by mastering self-defense techniques, while promoting the philosophy of non-violence. It is characterized and distinguished not only a martial arts form but also embodies a certain cultural aspect. For instance, the rituals and social practices observed in Kun Lbokator require that the practitioner possesses knowledge about nature and the universe. \nPractitioners are required to train and master striking and defense techniques relying on their bare arms and legs, and only once a student can demonstrate proficiency is weapons training introduced. Another essential aspect of Kun Lbokator is that it is to be practiced with an ensemble of elements including dance, music, natural medicine, sacred objects and/or amulets, tattoos, and weapons. Masters play a crucial role in the performing aspect of Kun Lbokator because they serve as mediators between the apprentices and the guardian spirits, and thus are responsible for introducing new apprentices to them and the surrounding nature, asking for the apprentices’ protection and safety in training. In return, practitioners are required to show respect to others and take a pledge to become good citizens. \nPresently, Kun Lbokator is still actively performed as part of ritual offerings to local protective deities, Neak Ta as well as in other festive events. Kun Lbokator is an intangible tradition widely practiced among Cambodians, regardless of their age, gender and educational backgrounds or statuses.\n
