Sekar Gadung

The pengawak section of Sekar Gadung (baro mode), Gianyar style that we performed at A Tapestry of Sacred Music held at the Esplanade in Singapore. Check out the characteristic antique semar pegulingan instruments: gangsa jongkok, kempyung and gumanak. Modern groups dont use these anymore, making the gamelan similar to a regular Balinese gong kebyar gamelan orchestra.
