Release Notes:
The incredibly rich gamelan tradition of Bali
continues into the twenty-first century with
Manikasanti! The name of the group derives from the
name of the gamelan that they use: Manik means
"jewel" and Santi means "peace."
Manikasanti's leader, I Wayan Sinti, was born in
1943 in Dauh Kutuh and is a music teacher at a
specialty school. His career has spanned nearly
forty years, and he is well known as a vocal music
specialist with a strong background in old gamelan
music. He received an M.A. from the University of
California San Diego in 1981. He is very energetic
in his activities as a composer, and has provided a
great number of pieces for the annual gamelan music
contest.
Most Balinese gamelan groups are traditional
village groups with amateur musicians from each
village forming around that village's traditional
instrument, but I Wayan Sinti, the leader of
Manikasanti, has instead scouted the most talented
players from across the island and formed a new
diverse group of members who simply love to perform
the music ... this is the new face of Balinese
gamelan!
