Videos of gamelan beleganjur (Ch. 7)
This example features a contest performance by the famous beleganjur group from Banjar Meranggi (Denpasar), Bali. The group won the 1992 championship in the most prestigious belganjur competition (lomba) with this performance. This clip features an excerpt of the same composition, Suandita's "Wira Ghorava Cakti," that is featured on CD 2, tr. 7 of the WMTT 3-CD set (see also pp. 109-110 of the text).
This example features the opening portion of a small cremation (ngaben) procession in Wanasari, Bali. You will see the beleganjur group positioned right behind the cremation tower and the spinning of the tower at the first crossroads of the procession route. A great supplement to the discussion on pp. 99-103 of the text (and to CD exs. #2-4 and 2-5).
Conclusion of the same cremation procession in Wanasari. The tower is carried and spun with great energy with the arrival at the cremation grounds (kuburan).

I ever stayed in bali about 3 month, bali is a beautiful island and the people still keep their traditional culture where many people in other place have forgotten theirs.
Good job for your article. It is a kind of effort to support a conservation of traditional cultures.
