About Me

Gamelan X world music ensemble presents dynamic, original music for concerts and dance events. We draw our primary inspiration from Indonesian music, especially the Beleganjur, the traditional Balinese marching gamelan. We are also inspired by Balkan, African, Indian and American traditions (among others). We aim to combine complex interlocking rhythms and sinewy melodies into a visceral groove experience that excites and entrances our audiences.You can purchase our CD and download free mp3 clips of every track here:
