Pesta Raya: Kua Etnikaa
At Pesta Raya 2007, a local fusion gamelan group called GammaRays played at the Esplanade Recital studio. This year, for Pesta Raya 2008, Esplanade has programmed Kua Etnika, an Indonesian fusion gamelan ensemble. Which leads one to thinking whether fusion gamelan has become the gamelan du jour for these kinds of festivals.
Whatever that may be, Kua Etnika is a must see. Using the Balinese, and Javanese gamelan as well as jazz, reggae and many other influences in their music, one can expect much to see and hear in their concert. Hope to see you there!
Details are:
24-25 October 2008 (Fri and Sat)
7:30pm
Esplanade Recital Studio
Tickets are at $30 (concessions available at SISTIC)
