I noticed two other women during the course of the evening: one women with her husband, the other a young woman wearing a headscarf. Peak attendance was between 10p.m. and 1a.m. People came after they heard the beginning of the broadcast.
Performance duration: @9p.m. to just before 4a.m., with breaks at 12.20pm and 3a.m. The organizer and my contact, Pak Il, had mentioned that it might end earlier around 1 or 2a.m. if there were not many attendees.

Date: January 26, 2004
Time: 8p.m.--approx. 11p.m
Place: Radio Republik Indonesia Bukittinggi
Style: Saluang Klasik
Occasion: Bagurau di Udaro
Set up: In the recording studio, there were 4 microphones set up: for the janang, the two padendang, and the tukang saluang. The audience sat on the floor in a semi-circle facing them. The show was broadcast.
Performers:- Padendang:
- Mak Sawir
- Pak Kakao
- Tukang Saluang
- Saiful Basapuni
- Herman, played with Saiful on the first set
- Janang/ Radio Show Host:
- Mak Il St. Rajo Endah
- Pak Kakao also contributes to the conversation
Ethnographers: Jennifer
Attendance: I was present for the duration of the event, hosted by Mak Il.
Notes: By far the larger percentage of the show was reading listener requests, which were dropped off in a number of collection boxes around Bukittinggi. By the end of the show, the announcers had read over 90 slips, trying to get through as many as possible, suggesting these evenings were as much about honoring listener requests as the live music performed. They still had 200 slips unread at the end, suggesting an impossible task. The show didn't involve the performance of 90 songs, but probably did involve more titles than I noted. Many requests acknowledge Mak Sawir, suggesting that he was a regular feature, and included specific pantun penned by the requestor. A number of requests were from women, suggesting their investment in the genre even if they weren't participating in person. Finally, a number of requests were marked as coming from cafes, warung (food stalls), and specific kind of traders.
The radio station personnel started cleaning up as they approached the end of the designated time, 11p.m., not worried about extraneous sounds that might bleed into the broadcast. - Padendang:
