Surakarta is a city in Central Java, Indonesia. At the present time, the name Surakarta is used in formal- government situations, while the name Solo refers more to a general mention. The word Sura in Javanese means “courage” and Karta means “prosperous”. The east side of the city is crossed by a river that is immortalized in one of the keroncong songs, Bengawan Solo. Together with Yogyakarta, Surakarta is the heir to the Islamic Mataram Kingdom.
