"Indonesia consists of thousands of Islands, each with its own culture. The traditional wedding ceremony is distinct in each region of the archipeligo. This album documents the complete "Sundanese Wedding Ceremony" of West Java."
Lovely and diverse

"This CD is a mix of instrumental music(degung), small group singing, solo and duo male/female singing, and intoned prayer. The lead male vocalist has an especially warm, strong voice. The female lead lacks the "silvery" quality I love in some Sundanese female singers, but is quite proficient.
The music can serve as background music or be listened to closely--even after several hearings. Don't be put off by the cover photo. The music is Sundanese.
The sound quality is good. I would have given 5 stars except for the inappropriate cover art and lack of notes. Perhaps some copies do have liner notes."
