"Pat Im" Music Preserves Plurality in Cirebon

The Covid-19 pandemic has made the celebration of Imlek or Lunar New Year 2572 in Cirebon, West Java, less jovial. The cheerful Cap Go Meh (the 15th of first lunar month) carnival is also canceled.

The music group Pat Im Langgeng (from left to right), namely Sehkudin, Surip, Ki Amad, Akmad, and Wanto take a photo in Dukuhwidara Village, Pabedilan District, Cirebon Regency, West Java, on Monday (8/2/2021).

The Covid-19 pandemic has made the celebration of Imlek or Lunar New Year 2572 in Cirebon, West Java, less jovial. The cheerful Cap Go Meh (the 15th of first lunar month) carnival is also canceled. However, the tone of plurality has continued to resonate through pat im (traditional Chinese music) in Dukuhwidara village, Pabedilan, Cirebon.

On Monday (8/2/2021), the soft tone of pat im was heard from the modest house of Surip, 29. He and four members of Pat Im Langgeng (Everlasting Pat Im) group were playing the Chinese-nuanced music that noon. None of them are of Chinese descent.
