KIAI KANJENG

Never have I been impressed to any musicians like Kiai Kanjeng
(Cat Stevens’ comment after enjoying Kiai Kanjeng concert in London, Nov 2004)

Kiai Kanjeng have brought Javanese traditional percussion to play
pop, blues, jazz and even Chinese music! They have impressed
the whole Europe!
 
As a journalist, I am bombarded with questions: is Cak Nun a
poet? saint? culturalist? or all of them? his exploration is infinite,
diverse and volatile... and he called himself as 'social worker'.
