Kecapi

These stories have been handed down from generation to generation in the form of ballads, performed with accompanying music by the "kecapi," a kind of zither.

She attributes the initial idea to her husband, who suggested combining the kecapi with suling in 1960, shortly after their move to the kabupaten Sidenreng-Rappang (Sidrap), where he had been assigned as district head (Ind. bupati).
