Mekar Bhuana is a Sanur-based organisation founded by legong dancer Putu Evie Suyadnyani and her New Zealand husband, ethnomusicologist Wayan Pon Smara (Vaughan Hatch) to preserve the performing arts heritage of Bali.
They are coming down to Singapore to perform at the Esplanade Waterfront on the 2nd and 3rd of May, 2 sets a night. Admission is free!
The group will present five performances of rare seven-tone semara pagulingan repertoire (from Banjar Pagan Kelod, Denpasar, Kamasan, Klungkung and Gianyar) and pelegongan repertoire (from Teges Kanginan, Ubud and Banjar Tegal, Kuta). Vaughan Hatch will present a talk on this rare music and the ensembles during the festival.
