Tangkuban Perahu: a stratovolcano in Lembang, West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A giant crater spitting boiling mud and flush with hot water springs. The Sundanese have lived in Java for three thousand years. "Tangkubuhanprauw" is the Sundanese term for "Upturned boat." It comes from the Sangkuriang legend.
Tonight's music is lousy with exotica and music that leans heavy on percussion. This show has featured exotica quite a bit, but it typically has been the more tropical beach variety and less the jungle variety. Now this episode is rife with songs about rainforests and wild animals like tigers and such. Get hypnotized with the drum beat as we go up the river into the heart of darkness.
