- Description
Nowhere is the richness of Balinese art more evident than in this glittering music, which uses a 25-piece gamelan of metallophones, gongs, cymbals, drums, and flutes. The relatively new style of gamelan gong kebjar changed the form radically: kebjar, literally meaning to burst into flame, refers to the free virtuosic passages interspersed with traditional forms.
