Sacred Sounds of Bali || Gamelan Music

First thing in the morning, middle of the day, or quite often in the middle of the night, you can hear Gamelan playing in the distance. This music represents the island.
This is A Deeper Understanding into Gamelan music in Bali beyond just the instruments. How have the instruments changed? How do people change them? How do people feel about modern Gamelan music today?
A special thank you to Vaughan Hatch at Mekar Bhuana Centre for letting me follow you around for a couple of weeks to better understand Gamelan in its entirety. Thank you!

terima kasih untuk ini

Cool

[@vkorchnoifan]

Oh, how I wish I could hear music all day. Where can I purchase the cds.

[@krisnathebalinese]

Please put up subtitles for when Vaughan is speaking as it is quite difficult to understand him speaking without a proper microphone. Otherwise, keep it up with the great content as usual, guys! 😁

[@TRACINGTHOUGHT]

Got cha. Will do next time, thank you so much Kris! You can also consider becoming a Patron for a month if you enjoy my videos. That is where I find the money for microphones, translators, and subtitles! Hopefully I can get that better mic soon. Otherwise keep enjoying the vids! Thank you! patreon.com/tracingthought

There is a time when Indonesian people learning about their culture from foreign people. And yes, im Indonesian

[@RIZFERD]

Yes Our Forefathers Kings of Nusantara (Nuswantara) the real Ancient Indonesia has returned I am as one of the Incognito Princes has been called to return home. Indo Europe, All Indo around the world = Ancient Indonesia (just read to the end) Wonderful Wonderland Indonesia with hundreds of cultures and languages harmoniously in peace and balance with over 17,000 islands (3x timezones: GMT +7, +8, +9) strategically located on the equator line the real lost Atlantis, the real global superpower was already before USA was born and will always be, it's time to remake the world map instead the present one western world has been drawing Indonesia too small on purpose since Mercator 1569, even Coffee and many more natural resources are native to Indonesia not brought by the Dutch. Even only our Oil and Gas are much more than whole Middle East combined. I also lived in EU especially The Netherlands, Belgium and France 2002-2010, seen and experienced so many things the media won't tell. Aside been living around the world all alone since childhood. PAN (Levy Miller, Hugh Jackman), Aquaman, Avatar = my real life including Harry Potter, Now You See Me, and so on. Been living around the world all alone since childhood, a complete multiracial multilingual. It's universal ;) Indi, indo, indus = the real world's oldest modern civilization all the way from Indonesia to Europe with significant remaining India and Indonesia especially before Toba of Sumatra erupted 75000 years ago bigger brother of Yellowstone USA, Indonesia (Indo Nesos) Indus Islands (over 17000 Islands) on the equator line the real Atlantis, including oldest pyramid in the world 25000 years old "Gunung Padang" Indonesia all Indo around the world came from Indonesia (Indo Europe, Indo Persia, Indo America, Indo Pacific, etc) Nusantara the real Indonesia was consist of almost all area of Southeast Asia, but our forefathers the kings of Sumatra (Nusantara in general) had to give Malaysia (and Brunei) and Singapore to The Brits and The Philippines to The Spaniards. Learn the fact who are the men on Malaysian Ringgit notes, Singaporean Dollar notes also Brunei Dollar notes. Indeed of our Minangkabau Sumatra Kingdoms. Even the writer and composer of Singaporean National Anthem came from Our Bukittinggi West Sumatra Indonesia. Real Asia Pacific Main Hub is Indonesia (Banten and Jakarta) not Singapore not Hongkong. Even Jakarta only is 6x size of Paris, Europe's largest city. And Jakarta is winner of STA 2021 (world's best sustainable public transportation). www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegleybloom/2022/02/22/the-worlds-50-most-beautiful-countries-you-wont-believe-where-the-us-ranked/

It's offensive to try to dress like people from another part of the world when you don't live and belong there. How embarrassing.

[@eviehatch01]

You obviously didn't watch the documentary fully. He has been living in Bali for at least 23 years at that time.
