VOI - Voice of Indonesia | RRI - Radio Republik Indonesia

Celebrating RRI's 75th Anniversary, RRI held a wayang puppet show by the Tombo Kangen group, which was directed by traditional artist Kirun.

Taking the play "Sekartaji Bakul Jamu", they will act to bring legendary stories.

According to the assistant director, Sentot, this story tells the story of a prameswari who was knocked out by the king who had a new concubine.

"Agus Marsudi, who is none other than the husband of Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, will also take part in the Ketoprak performance to welcome the 75th anniversary of Radio Republik Indonesia," Sentot added on Wednesday.

It is said that the king's new concubine had actually been given charms by his teacher to lure King Kameswara so that his mind was far from the Empress, Sekartaji.

All jewelry was given to the king's new concubine by Sekartaji.

"Except for one that was not given. Namely Tusuk Konde," said Sentot.

Why wasn't Tusuk Konde given to Sekartaji? The answer can be watched tonight by listeners throughout Indonesia through RRI Program 4 on Wednesday, 8-10 PM at the Abdurahman Saleh Auditorium, RRI, or via RRI Net and RRI YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/ZJS3TcZNhiA.

The Ketoprak Tombo Kangen performance is will be held with strict health protocols.
