Building from his experiences as a Balinese beleganjur drummer, the author presents the lives of the musicians who connect across vast cultural divides. The text examines the competitive events, where political corruption and conflicting notions of identity rupture the surface of cultural order.
For centuries the gamelan beleganjur percussion orchestra has been an indispensable part of political, social and spiritual life on the island of Bali. Traditionally associated with warfare and rituals for the dead, the music has recently given rise to a musical style featured in contests that are attended by thousands. Ethnomusicologist Michael Bakan draws the reader into these intensely competitive events, in which political corruption, conflicting notions of identity and irrepressible creativity rupture the smooth surface of cultural order. Building from his own experiences as a beleganjur drummer, Bakan also takes the reader inside this musical world and into the lives of musicians connecting across vast cultural divides. The book contains musical examples, photographs and an accompanying compact disc, "Music of Death and New Creation" represents an exploration of how music embodies and shapes life in contemporary Indonesia and beyond.
