Baleganjur

Baleganjur
Baleganjur is the name given to the processional style of Gamelan in which the more portable instruments of the Gamelan are played on the move. The lack of keyed metallophones contributes to the unique sound of this rhythmic style. The name, meaning "Marching Army", reflects its martial origins.


No video recording of Lila Cita playing baleganjur at the moment. Here's a holiday clip of a parade for potong gigi (tooth-filing ceremony) in North West Bali.
