This is from the last Ronggeng Merdeka show for this year at Armenian Street, Penang. Nice event with locals coming out in full. Do see some Mat Salleh too.

It is a musical drama featuring Penang’s journey to Merdeka. Ronggeng Merdeka features the sung stories of Penang residents from the 1930s, through the Japanese Occupation, up to the period of Merdeka. It captures the rhythms and sounds of school, street life and the trades of the diverse communities of Penang through song,dance & drama.
