Ceramic Music Festival (CMF) is a landmark of the emergence of a new culture in Jatiwangi: Music from clay-based instruments or, simply, ceramic music. Held by the people of Jatiwangi and JaF, the official opening ceremony of CMF 2012 was marked with more than 1500 people of Jatiwangi beating rooftiles in the Rampak 1001 Perkusi Genteng (1001 Rooftile Percussion Orchestra). Involving people from all 16 villages in the Jatiwangi district, the orchestra simply become a movement. Along with JaF and the district government apparatus (district chief, police chief, chiefs of the villages, etc), more than 3000 Jatiwangi people declared the JATIWANGI PLEDGE and sang JATIWANGI HYMN as a collective promise to uphold the Jatiwangi’s culture from time to time. CMF is then decided to become a triennial event of Jatiwangi. It will be hold for the second time in the coming 2015.
