Joged Bumbung

Joged bumbung is a style of gamelan music from Bali, Indonesia on instruments made primarily out of bamboo. The ensemble gets its name from joged, a flirtatious dance often performed at festivals and parties. This style of Gamelan is especially popular in Northern and Western Bali, but is easily found all over the island. Unlike many styles of Balinese Gamelan which have sacred roles in religious festivals, Joged music is much more secular, and in many ways has become the folk music of Bali. With the rapid rise of tourism in recent decades, Joged music is now often found being performed at hotels and restaurants. In the past of this dance is usually used as introduction in the Balinese Social activity.

This was my first artwork that use only my stock and drawing ( yay ! ). Why this dance over other popular Balinese Dance ? Because i want to rise the social interaction of introduction of Balinese villager when there's local event being held which was the true purpose of this dance, also I want this dance to look a bit sacred to left the bad image surrounding this dance nowadays which you can see everywhere. In short I want to capture the essence of this dance through this work .
