About Gamelan joged bumbung

Gamelan joged bumbung is a music genre that emerged in Indonesia. It is usually classed as a form of gamelan and Balinese dance.

From Wikipedia

Joged bumbung is a style of gamelan music from Bali, Indonesia played 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.
