Who cares what X Y or Z call it. A name is just a name and usually it is so that many things come with many names. Would Elvisīs music be any better or worse if he had been named Melvin Tiny? Of course not. What counts is what it is - not what itīs name is. I am frustrated in reading countless threads that concentrate on skin deep barstool understanding, namely name-dropping, pun intended.

Isīnt there more to this subject - keris - than what a pamor is named or a dapur called?

Please do not understand me wrong - I am not speaking of this thread particularly but in general about where the focus in most threads seem to lie at. I am very interested in knowing the WHY, WHERE and WHEN a dapur such as this was created. This in my opinion is interesting, the music itself, not that the singer was named Melvin.

Just my opinion of course.

Thanks,

Jussi, i am not in disagreement with you here.
So perhaps you could share with us your ideas of WHY, WHERE and WHEN this particular dhapur was developed. Let the music play.
