Gambang Kuta 1941 saih lebeng misi bero

We learnt this version of the famous I Wayan Lotring piece 'Gambang Kuta' from a recording from 1941 played by the semara pagulingan from Teges Kanginan, Ubud. Here we play it in the lebeng mode and grace a false tone (penyorog) in the first and third sections. This is an excerpt of the piece we are going to play as part of our closing set at the Esplanade in Singapore in May 2009.
