For centuries the gamelan beleganjur percussion orchestra has been
an indispensable part of political, social, and spiritual life on
the island of Bali. Traditionally associated with warfare and
rituals for the dead, the music has recently given rise to an
exciting new musical style featured in contests that are attended
by thousands. Ethnomusicologist Michael Bakan draws us into these
intensely competitive events, in which political corruption,
conflicting notions of identity, and irrepressible creativity
rupture the smooth surface of cultural order.
Building from his own experiences as a beleganjur drummer, Bakan
also takes us inside a distant musical world and into the lives of
musicians connecting across vast cultural divides. Rich with
musical examples, photographs, and an accompanying compact disc,
"Music of Death and New Creation" is an unprecedented exploration
of how music embodies and shapes life in contemporary Indonesia and
beyond.
