The international community began to recognize gamelan as French composer Claude Debussy (1862-1918) to show the gamelan at the Universal Exhibition in Paris to see in 1889 to 100 years to commemorate the French Revolution. The set also includes rare instruments such as a gentorag (bell tree) as
well as a pair of gumanak (bronze tubes hit with sticks). Our group
plays the repertoire of Kuta and other anonymous composers from Denpasar. The majority of
this repertoire dates back to the early twentieth century. In 2004,
engaging guru I Wayan Mandra and senior advisor I Ketut Nagi (deceased),
our group revived some of the near-forgotten instrumental pieces once
known in Sanur. These originated in Kelandis and were taught to the
Singgi musicians in the 1950s by I Kecug from Pagan Kelod. We never
recorded however, and it has not been until the death of Nagi in 2010
that we started to work seriously on documenting the style via recording
– this is one of our ongoing.
