The Jaran Kepang Horse Soldier

Indigenous Javanese men, resembling mourning soldiers, are performing a dance to gamelan music at the Jaran Kepang cultural art exhibition in Medan Polonia District, Medan City, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, on January 21, 2024. Rattan woven horses, covered with cloth, are present as part of the performance. Jaran Kepang is a blend of musical dance art and transcendental communication typical of the Javanese tribe, which continues to be preserved today, according to Supringadi, 30, the leader of the Jaran Kepang Community Association in Karang Sari sub-district.
