Soil Lab Jatiwangi

Title : Rampak Genteng / Ceramic Music Festival

Rampak Genteng (Ceramic Music Festival) is a triennial celebration by the community, serving as a collective declaration of clay-based culture. Thousands of people create a harmonious orchestral performance using terracotta tiles, symbolizing shared agreements and collective imagination to position Majalengka as a Cultural Advancement Zone. This Sounding Harmony of the Soil Community unfolds over two hours every three years. As a form of Soil Work, Rampak Genteng is a collaborative, multi-stakeholder effort. In the 2024 Year of Soil, it involved approximately 3,000 participants from 50 institutions and groups, including school students,

government officials, police officers, PKK mothers (Family Welfare Movement), tile factory workers, laborers, and community collectives.

Rampak Genteng marks the pinnacle of the Tahun Tanah celebration, held five times since 2012. The gathered participants undergo two months of rehearsals and collaborative composition-building to prepare for this event.
