Jegog is a kind of traditional
bamboo music or gamelan from Jembrana Region, West Bali. All of
us agree that Jembrana is "The Home of Jegog" which
was created by Kiyang Geliduh from Sebual village in 1912. The
instruments are 90 percents made from bamboo in various measures
and scales. The biggest is 300cm length, 18cm diameter, and 2cm
thickness. The background story of this Jegog was back to the
Dutch Colonial.
When the people collected and selected best bamboo for Jegog music,
the Dutch thought they struggled back with those sword-like bamboo
(called bambu runcing). The Dutch started to stop them and took
the bamboo out from the people. Since then the people stopped
playing the Jegog for several years.
With a special attention and care from a local
artist named I Ketut Suwentra, under his Suar Agung Foundation,
this Jegog music was re-born, and soon it started to become well
known not only by local but worldwide. He bring the 'back to nature'
mission to the world by conducting his village Jegog group.
This times, 2 teams of Suar Agung (Collaboration)
would like to play together "Jegog", is called Mebarung.
