Jaguank is an ethnic music group. And also a brand engaged in the production of composers and arrangers that was established in 2012 and domiciled in West Sumatra, Indonesia. We are performers who explore how to play the Minangkabau talempong instrument with new techniques and innovations with the "Awakening of Talempong" concept, this concept is the result of exploration carried out in the technique of playing the talempong instrument by combining touches of Western and Eastern musical techniques to give birth to a new style of playing talempong. Our mission is to make Talempong global and our vision is to awaken Talempong from its cultural habits.  Apart from that, we also produce ethnic music across genres to suit the needs of film soundtracks, dance music, backsound, jazz, world music compositions and others.
