Indonesian Classical Guitar

Classical guitar music from Indonesia, what the %$%? Well I was just sent this link from the Indonesian e-mail list and it is quite good. I know a few things about this from a connoisseur's perspective having listen to compositions by Barrios, Tárrega and others.
His name is Juping Kristianto. The piece linked here is Becak Fantasy. A becak is the Indonesian rickshaw, or human taxi.



P.D.

Here is a recent article on Jubing in the English-language Jakarta post.
