Contents: Gender Wayang (reels 1-2); Angklung (reels 3-4).
Recorded with Nagra III.
Original archive entry sheets contained the following additional information: 74-21.1-2 OT lists performers as "the Suwecas group" and collector as "Suwecas Oct. 14, 1974"; 74-21.3-4 OT notes that "Suwecas has names of pieces."
Regarding the Gender Wayang tapes (reels 1-2): James and Annette Kippen consulted I Wayan Suweca about this recording in January 2011: it features his father I Wayan Konolan, I Wayan Suweca himself, and two "uncles" (probably close friends). Suweca went as a visiting artist to Brown University in 1974 at Bonnie Wade's request, and this tape of gender pieces was made to send them as a demonstration of his knowledge. It was recorded by I Made Bandem [did he record the Angklung tapes (reels 3-4) also?].
Note: The "EC" tape was originally accessioned as 74-12.1 EC (mistakenly?); it contains the same material as 74-21.1 and 74-21.2 OT and was re-labeled 74-21.1 EC 11/2008; note written on EC tape box: "Gender Wayang - The Suweca family group recorded in Denpasar, Bali, Kayumas village, October 14 1974."; duration of EC = 1:28:22.
Durations: OTs = 45:27, 43:25, 35:35, 37:12; EC = 1:28:22; WDs = 75:53, 12:33, 35:54, 37:25 (total = 2:41:45)
