Pak Wakidjo (Pak Wakidi’s older brother) was one of the most famous gamelan drummers of all time, with his signature playing style gracing dozens if not hundreds of tape recordings during gamelan’s golden age. He was also a composer, but not very many recordings of his compositions exist. Kembang Wijaya (Kusuma) is a totally classical piece and written after Pak Wakidjo had been ill. It was a well wishing for him to get better. “Kembang Wijaya Kusuma” is the name of one of Kresna’s amulets in wayang that brings people back to life when fatally ill. This piece was chosen for its appropriateness during Covid times.
