Puspa is currently recording a new “Balinese Folk Song†album with her friends Riwin (the well known and respected Balinese guitarist from Tropical Transit), quite a few other internationally renowned musicians (predominantly American pianist Hank Curtis and Ecuadorian pan flutist Carlos), as well as some brilliant local musicians. Riwin also acts as main musical director - creatively arranging some of the classic Balinese folk songs to give them a new “world music†flair.
As to the sound palette of this album... imagine Putri Cening Ayu with a Spanish guitar touch, Ratu Anom with haunting South American pan flute, Pul Si Noge as a Brazilian Samba, Jenggot Uban in South Pacific Island tradition, and the beloved Meong Meong as a cool New York Jazz tune.
