Band Description:
NOTE: Gamelankemana will be playing from 3pm-4pm.
Gamelankemana aims to take Balinese gamelan to new places--both physically and musically--by reinterpreting traditional repertoire and bringing it to new audiences. The ensemble is based on a form of Balinese music called gender wayang, which is used to accompany shadow-puppet plays. Even in Bali, this style of music is considered extremely demanding because the players must play independent interlocking parts with both hands, while also using their palms and fingers to dampen the keys after they are struck.
