Pengamen is the name for street musicians in Indonesia.
But, this term is also to mention musicians who perform from stage to stage while making a living. The street musicians here are different from their counterpart in European cities, who appear polite on the street while putting down boxes or hats as the crowd gives tips.
In Indonesia, pengamen can be very annoying when singing with false sounds and bad music. People sometimes give them money as a subtle expulsion or out of compassion, not to appreciate their music.
I meet this anonymous band playing in D'mall, Depok, West Java. They play professionally on stage and provide donation box. Unfortunately, very few people watch them.

Pengamen adalah sebutan bagi musisi jalanan di Indonesia.
Tapi, istilah ini juga untuk menyebut musisi yang tampil dari panggung ke panggung saat mencari nafkah. Pengamen di sini berbeda dari pengamen di kota-kota di Eropa, yang tampil santun di jalan sambil meletakkan kotak atau topi sebagai tempat penonton memberi tip.
Di Indonesia, pengamen bisa sangat mengganggu ketika bernyanyi dengan suara yang fals dan permainan musik yang buruk. Orang kadang memberi mereka uang sebagai bentuk pengusiran secara halus atau karena belas kasihan, bukan untuk menghargai permainannya.
Saya bertemu kelompok musik tanpa nama ini sedang bermain di D'mall, Depok, Jawa Barat. Mereka bermain profesional di atas panggung dan menyediakan kotak sumbangan di depan. Sayang, sedikit sekali orang yang menonton.
