Comment
"The Gamelan Djogéd Bungbung is the orchestra of the most popular dance nowadays: the Fan Dance, or Djogéd. On the village square, in the evening, a kind of open-air stage is set up, veiled by a theater curtain, or formed of a simple screen, behind which the dancers stand before entering the stage. After a musical opening, they appear in turn in front of the screen; the dancer whose turn it is then performs a fairly long solo in the style of the Legong, then moves towards a point in the audience where, still dancing, she touches with her fan the person she has chosen as partner. less good dancers, more or less inventive; this simple entertainment sometimes reaches the art of true ballet, when the dancer falls on an inspired partner, to the delight of the crowd the show can then go on well into the night. The melodic part of the orchestra includes xylophones of bamboo and small headband flutes. This recording was made in Taman, an ancient village in the south, near the coast of Sanur." Louis Berthe, see back of the cover of the disc "Gamelans of Bali - Music of the Gods, music of Men" (CNRSMH_E_1965_007_001_001_07)
