Gamelan Cudamani

(GAM-eh-lawn soo-deh-MAH-nee)

“[Çudamani] brought us closer to the essence of a culture than most touring productions can.” Los Angeles Times

This 25-member music and dance company from Bali transports the audience into the life, rituals, and celebrations of an Indonesian village. Employing a rare semarandana orchestra, the gamelan musicians use seven tones instead of the traditional five to create rich and varied sounds and rhythms. The music, colorful costumes (including a spectacular dragon), and thoroughly engaging performers make Gamelan Çudamani a captivating experience for audiences of all ages.
