Some behind the scenes with Ibu Kamrah, Ibu Tinah, and the rest of the gang as these Alas women explain how their interlocking sardine tin ensemble is organized. Keep watching as they demonstrate how the complex hocketing rhythms of canang situ are shared between pairs of instruments, and then watch how it all fits together in a five-woman virtuosic groove.

(P.s. - I'm no master translator, so I hope you can get their intended meanings. It is interesting, though, to see the figurative terms they use to explain their music, with musical relationships shown in terms of "friendship," and order in the rhythmic hierarchy explained in terms of youth!)
