Master kemancha maker Musa Agun is worried that he won’t be able to pass on his craft to future generations because he can’t find an apprentice. He highlights that traditional crafts require love, patience, and effort, and families play an important role in training apprentices. He calls for the government support and vocational courses to keep disappearing crafts alive. Inviting everyone to help solve this issue, he says, “Let's keep our art alive together and carry it into the future”.
