As a boy Blaudzun was always fascinated by this traditional Indonesian instrument and plans to use them during his short concert tour in Indonesia. He’ll be  playing at the Dutch cultural center Erasmus Huis at 7:30 pm and entry is free (though get there early to make sure you can get in and get a good seat).
