Photo of siteran ensemble, Solo, Java, 8 Feb 95 Photo and notes copyright © David W. Hughes, 1995. Left to right: Pak Suyono, ciblon (from Ngawi, E. Java; plays with large skin to left, as in East Java) Pak Pawira [Pawiro, a.k.a. Pawiro Temon, Pawiro Siter, Pawirejo], siter peking (a.k.a. siter panerus; didnât use thumb picks) (b. Karanganyar, in Solo from age 10) Pak Sugiyanto, gong bumbung & siter besar (a.k.a. siter barung, siter babok; used thumb picks) (from Ngawi) Mbak Tamini, sindhenan (from Ngawi) two more pesindhen off-camera Location: Northeast corner of Jl. Imam Bonjol & Jl Ronggowarsito south of the Kusuma Sahid Prince Hotel. At about 9 pm, Pak Pawiraâs 6-person group showed up at this corner. When a kroncong trio continued to occupy the prime spot on the bench at the southeast corner (see separate photo), we went to the lesehan at the northeast corner. Those from Ngawi (82km east of Solo) still live there but come to Solo to get the basic necessities of life (cari nafkah) and make some money via siteran. They stay over (âkosâ) at either of two places in Solo (one being Pawiraâs house).
