Angklung traditional musical instruments will be confirmed as one of the world cultural heritage or a "World Intangible Heritage" by UNESCO in November 2010. Previously, angklung also rang been claimed by Malaysia, as the country's native musical instruments.
In addition to the security and angklung recognition as world cultural heritage, will also be impacted economically.
Angklung crafters will benefit by getting many orders angklung from within and outside the country.
What do you think about this? Are you happy to hear this news?

Of course I am happy. Now we can start to register all of our heritage. For me, I should thank to Malaysia. Why? Imagine, if Malaysia never claim our heritage, do you think we have any initiation to do to register that? I don't think so. Even most of our young generation do not really appreciate our traditional musics. Most of them loves other nation's musics. So sad...

Of course I am, it's my country's music instruments getting the honor of becoming the world's heritage. Angklung deserves to be one of the world's heritage because it is unique and I never find any musical instruments as unique as angklung

This news is very exciting. Hopefully, it will be something that continues to boast. I saw angklug, in the currency IDR 1000, the latest coin. And this is very good.
