Krakatau @ Cultural Center

The Indonesian jazz-pop-fusion ensemble Krakatau presents a free public concert at 7:30pm on Monday, June 14 at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington Street.

Krakatau's distinctive sound originates from an ancient Gamelan tonal system called "S'lendro," which is found in the traditional music of Sunda, Java, and Bali. Based on the S'lendro tonal system, Krakatau fuses Western musical elements and instruments (jazz, rock and pop) with various ethnic rhythms of Indonesian musical traditions and instruments.
