Randai on KBCS-FM

I appeared as a guest on KBCS-FM, the radio station of Bellevue Community College, on a show called 'The Old Country.' The show was about randai, a martial arts-based dance drama form of the Minangkabau people of Western Sumatra, Indonesia, and featured hard-to-come-by recordings from Indonesian radio, CDs of Sumatran flute-and-vocal music from Germany, field recordings of Dr. Kirstin Pauka, and music from our 2000 performance at the University of Hawaii.
