Product Description
CUDAMANI: The Seven Tone Gamelan Orchestra of Pengosekan, Bali, features one of Bali's most vibrant new gamelan ensembles. The thirty virtuosic musicians of CUDAMANI, led by Dewa Putu Berata, play on an unusual type of hybrid gamelan orchestra created in the 1980s. With seven tones rather than the usual five, this gamelan semara dana allows the freedom to play in unusual modes -- and thereby create and re-create a dazzling variety of music and dance works, opening up entirely new vistas in contemporary gamelan performance.

Must-have Balinese gamelan CD.......2004-09-08

I had the absolute pleasure to actually study gamelan with Dewa Berata and Cudamani in Pengosekan. Not only are these some of the most talented musicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with, but they are truly playing from the heart. If you have ever thought about purchasing any Balinese music, get this CD. I left Bali with it and whenever I want to go back there I put it in. They are also touring the US next spring, so do a search online to see if they're playing anywhere near you. AND GO!!!

old and new music of Bali.......2004-04-03

The music on this album has a great range- from very new sounds to the classics. The seven tone gamelan is quite unique and becoming more popular in recent years. The musicianship of this group is breathtaking--- technically brilliant, complex, and filled with a range of feelings.

Transports me to Bali- where of course we all wish we were. Congratulations for this your first album- keep them coming
