Of the many kinds of gamelan to be found on the tiny island of Bali, none evokes a more ethereal and enchanted sound world than the rare gamelan of the love god, Gamelan Semar Pegulingan. This is the first commercial recording of the Semar Pegulingan type of gamelan (except for three 78-rpm discs, now rare collectors’ items). By the 1930s, Semar Pegulingan, which was originally a palace gamelan, was preserved in only a few villages. Now, however, the gamelan has been restored to life with a repertory that derives from the old traditions, but is strongly influenced by the innovations of 20th-century Balinese music.
This CD which is consist 6 track, offer to you The Love God Gamelan, the very old remastered sound of Gamelan that recorded in Teges Kanyinan, Pliatan, Bali, by Robert E. Brown. Originally released in 1972.
