Bali's own gamelan

Althought the instuments used are much same, Balinese gamelan is very different from the form you'll hear in java. Balinese gamelan often sounds like everyone going for it full pelt. The simmering energy produced through rhythmic accents and abrupt shifts in dynamics and tempo open the doors to a world of musical possibilities. Sit back and expect to be dazzled.
