The Kraton launched its official YouTube channel “Kraton Jogja” in July 2015. Various palace offices have collectively produced hundreds of videos on a wide range of topics that reflect how the palace as an institution wants to be seen and understood by its various internet audiences. As of September 2024, the channel boasted 189,000 subscribers and had released 576 videos.
The “Playlists” section of the channel webpage is the easiest way to access videos of the individual pieces or episodes found on Kridhamardawa produced albums and tutorials. For your convenience, these pieces and episodes are listed below with links to their respective videos and, when the information is available, to the gamelan pages found on this website for the respective gamelan sets seen and/or heard on them.
Finding archived videos of Hadiluhung ceremonies is a more time-consuming process that starts with navigating to the “Videos” section of the Kraton Jogja channel website and scrolling through the multitude of entries for “Hadiluhung” in the entry titles. As of August 2022, over 30 Hadiluhung programs are to be found dating back to late 2018; the earliest archived programs do not include dancers in their realizations of the lampah bedhayan section of the program, but beginning in January 2019 dancers do perform in this section and for all subsequent Hadiluhung.
Numerous other examples of palace gamelans being utilized as part of palace-sponsored ceremonies and events can be found archived on the Kraton Jogja YouTube channel but are harder to identify from the video titles themselves, especially for those unfamiliar with the Javanese and Indonesian languages.
New videos are frequently being added to the Kraton Jogja YouTube channel; the information found in the following charts reflects the content of this channel as of August 2022.
