Gamelan Jegog, comprised of giant bamboo marimbas with tubes up to ten feet long, is the largest and one of the rarest ensembles in Bali. Originating in West Bali, jegog is noted for its rhythmic energy, unusual four-tone scale, and powerful sonority. Its bass tones can be heard for miles across Balinese rice fields. Sekar Jaya's jegog is the only such performing ensemble in the Western Hemisphere. Accompanying GSJ's bamboo jegog ensemble will be master artist I Gede Oka Artha Negara, Associate Artistic Director and a leading performer in Gamelan Suar Agung, acknowledged as one of the finest and most influential jegog ensembles in Bali.
