Special music for Semanggi victims

Special music for Semanggi victims

BANDUNG (JP): Musician Harry Roesli, noted for his "eccentric"
works, is planning a traveling performance atop a trailer around
Bandung.

He said the performance, scheduled for Nov. 19, was to
commemorate the seventh day after the Semanggi tragedy in which
seven students were killed last Friday.

"The theme will be called SI-MPR," he said. Instead of meaning
Special Session of the People's Consultative Assembly, he said
the acronym stood for Special Show of the People's Consultative
Music.

"My heart is painful and sad," he said of the violence in the
capital which has left 15 dead since Thursday, and more than 400
injured. "I can only support the students' movement through my
traveling performance," he said, adding he hoped the authorities
would not block his plan. (43)
