Syapril Yamin, 53, has nurtured his love of gamolan pekhing (bamboo xylophone) since childhood. The artist dedicates his life to the preservation of the traditional musical instrument of Lampung, South Sumatra. He wants the sound of gamolan music to be heard all the time.

“I can say that I have been familiar with gamolan since I first opened my eyes,” said Syapril while busily teaching two youths to play gamolan in early January 2023.
