Foreign Tourists Played a Flute
August 13th, 2007
DENPASAR—The presentation by the Suara Dhana Dance Studio Singapadu, Gianyar adequately mesmerized the spectators in the series of Bali Arts Festival 2007 a short time ago. Genggong is a form of Balinese traditional music. A collaboration of genggong and the musical instrument of typically Caribbean named tenor steel drum was presented. A steel drum resembles a parabolic antenna and is played by striking its sunken surface. The distinctive sound of genggong was very attractive when combined with the sound of Caribbean music that resembled the plucking of guitar and playing of piano. However, the more fascinating thing from this performance is the performance of Jeh, a tourist from the United States who loves Balinese gamelan music. Jeh took part in playing a flute (bamboo flute). In the meantime, Miss Deirdre Morgan, a Canadian, was assigned to play genggong. This art troupe chaired by Made Subandi staged some dances like the Sampat Dance, Gonggang Music, Nyongket Music and Semuuk Dance. (BTN/015)
