We are a community of traditional Balinese music enthusiasts based in Bugbug Village, Karangasem, Bali. Our group is made up of local artists, youth, and community members who share a passion for preserving the noble cultural heritage of Bali through traditional musical arts—such as rindik, gamelan, selonding, and other uniquely Balinese instruments.
We believe traditional music is more than just entertainment. It is a spiritual legacy and a core part of our cultural identity, one that must be protected and passed down to future generations. With a spirit of togetherness and openness, we welcome anyone—both local and international—who wishes to learn, share, and grow through the world of Balinese traditional music.
We also welcome partnerships with individuals, communities, schools, and cultural institutions who share the same vision of preserving Bali’s artistic and cultural richness.
