about

"Joged Bumbung" is a traditional social dance performance in Bali, Indonesia, using the bamboo ensemble of Rindik Gamelan.

There is usually 1 female dancer who will invite a male guest to the stage to dance with for some minutes, until their dance is finished, for then inviting another guest, and so on.

The choreography may include sensual movements and close approaches between the dancer and the guests, and it's mainly intended to show a courtship ambience, but still educated, familiar and polite.

This kind of celebrations usually take place in birthdays, weddings, and village meetings. The choreographies are based on traditional Balinese dance positions and require skilled dancers, as well as the music, which is rich and complex.

Joged Bumbung is also included as one of the nine Balinese dances which are world cultural heritages. Joged Bumbung is expected to have high cultural values that serve as entertainment for local people and tourists alike.

This dance is thought to have originated from the Buleleng area and has been around since the 1940s. This dance was originally a social dance created by farmers to entertain while resting after working in the barn.

Joged Bumbung is a participatory dance, by inviting the audience to dance together.

Big thanks to I Wayan Sweca who gave me the possibility to listen this traditional compositions which we have been studying. This brings original Village music which is today in the process of being preserved.

This is a documentary process of recording Balinese Traditional Gamelan music, started in the year 2020.

Traditions have changed over time, but ancient musical compositions are adapted to nowadays life.

Agustín Oscar Rissotti, an Argentinian student of the University ISI Denpasar (Bali), developed an idea to join as many rehearsals, ensembles and religious ceremonies as possible with small microphones and recording equipment, to document the authentique "Bali Gamelan Sound".

In Bali, live performances are meant to be performed for the Gods. There is no egoistic purpose in this performances, but to admire the beauty of this world through the eyes of Hindu Balinese religion.

As for his ears, this is "The authentique Bali Sound", full of conversations around, people passing by, laughs, music of different performances played together (as it is meant to be in several Balinese Hindu ceremonies where -more than 1- ensembles are playing music very close to each other -at the same time-, background noises, sounds of coffee cups and arak shoots, breath of cigarettes, animals hollowing around, hundreds of motorbikes passing by, and even mother nature earthquakes.

With all my respect, this is the vision of a South Latin American guy who ended up studying Balinese Culture and living in the Island during the pandemic.

I hope this can translate you to the world I am living in.

Thankyou, I hope you will enjoy this music. Astungkara, matur suksema.

All the economic contributions made to this project will be spent in developing the Balinese Culture and Artists.

Please donate buying the records in Bandcamp.
