WHAT IS GAMELAN GAMBUH?

Written by von from http://www.mekarbhuana.com | Category: Indonesia on June
25th, 2012 | 8 Comments | 11,085 views

With the coming of the Majapahit Kingdom to Bali, and the subsequent rise to
power of the Gelgel Court of Klungkung, a golden age of art proliferated. One of
these art-forms was a style of music and orchestration called Gambuh. With its
roots possibly in West Java where there is a village with the same name, this
type of gamelan orchestra features long bamboo flutes (suling) and a spiked
fiddle (rebab), augmented by percussive instruments, and driven by two drums
(kendang kerumpungan).

The end-blown suling and the rebab carry the melody line of the compositions
which can be more than 20 minutes long. They play in a seven-tone scale over
several of octaves with many harmonics variations in between and – due to their
size and the cyclic breathing technique – take many years of practice to master.
The rebab is thought to have its roots in Persia and was probably inspired by
Indian traders who would have come to Bali via Java. The rebab is also found in
Java and on other islands, but in a slightly different form. Read more »


WHAT IS GAMBUH PART II

Written by von from http://www.mekarbhuana.com | Category: Indonesia on June
25th, 2012 | 21 Comments | 18,415 views

Gambuh is Bali’s oldest dance drama that developed in the 15th century in the
Klungkung kingdom of Gelgel. The stories feature blue bloods and their servants,
and Gambuh was obviously used as a tool by the palaces to demonstrate their
power and importance. The dramas included a large cast of dancers – around 22 –
who were originally all-male, playing both male and female roles.

The ancient drama is based almost entirely on the tales of Prince Panji, which
were modified from the palm leaf scripture called Malat. The central theme of
the Panji stories is ‘love’ – his attachment for his wife, her disappearance and
his subsequent journeys hunting for his soul mate. Read more »


GAMELAN – THE LIFE-BREATH OF THE BALINESE

Written by von from http://www.mekarbhuana.com | Category: Indonesia on April
27th, 2012 | 12 Comments | 16,665 views

“Gamelan music and instruments are a fundamental part of the life of a Balinese
which is focused around the relationship between people and god, people and
nature and between all people. These three concepts of harmonious living are
known as Tri Hita Karana” (Dr. I Made Bandem)

This analysis by a Balinese musicologist is based on the old palm-leaf
manuscripts which were written hundreds of years ago by court intellectuals. A
couple of manuscripts in particular, known as Aji Gurnita and Pra Kempa, reveal
a great philosophy behind music making in Bali. Diagrams involving the
directions of the wind, the gods which imbibe each particular tone and even
colours associated with vocal sounds are found throughout the scriptures. There
is a section on the different types of court gamelan, their instrumentation,
scales and even a guide how to play them. Read more »

BALI’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Written by von from http://www.mekarbhuana.com on April 27th, 2012 | 1 Comment |

In Bali, everything is alive. Everything has a soul, so they say. Shrines,
statues, even trees and boulders are ornamented with sacred black and white
sarongs, as if they are human. Some ‘in the know’ people have suggested to me
that if you start making offerings to an object, you can arouse its spirit. From
this point on you must be prepared to constantly prepare offerings for it on
certain auspicious days. Neglecting to do this could cause unrest, disharmony
and even sickness. Read more »

For those women who love fashion, Bali definitely is a great destination for
holiday. Bali is becoming one of most powerful fashion tractors in Southeast
Asia region. It was in late 70s when groups of surfers and hippies from western
countries started settling down on this charming island. They were enchanted by
this beautifully exotic island blessed with nature and rich culture. For the
last few decades exchanges between many nationalities not only western
communities but worldwide and this island had made a rich background for art and
creation.

Indonesia is very rich in natural resources, vast land and boundless water
around it. It is famous for thick rain forest and wild animals.  We are
fortunate to be in this blessed environment.  Plus inspiration that fills up all
over Bali.  Blend of these factors made up Bali today.

accessories and Bali costume jewelry. We focus on design and fashion trend using
natural materials. Seashells and wood are our signature accent to bring out the
ethnic touch of resort fashion and relaxing stylishness. Read more »
