Monkey Band

On Saturday we drove out to Gresik to visit a family...takes about an hour to dive there.  While we were in their home two young men with their drum and performing monkey came down the street and stopped for a performance! Of course we had to come out and watch...families living in the the kompon were all out to watch.  The monkey is on a leash and rides a scooter or 'motorcycle' up and own the street with one man loosening then pulling on the leash.  The other young man squats at the side of the street beating a drum and something else that sounds like something between a cymbal and a horn.  At the end of the performance the monkey carries a bucket around to collect money fom the observers!  Quite entertaining :)
