Description
On the exotic island of Bali, people spend their free time making beautiful things to offer their gods and performing wonderful music and dances. All over the island can be heard the sound of gamelan orchestras with their huge metal gongs, simple flutes, bronze instruments, and cymbals. This charming book, originally published in 1948 and illustrated here in full color, tells the story of the first ever Balinese music club of young boys, and how it all got started. We meet Kayun and his friends Kantin, Dapat, Dog, Kinigan, and Bedil (as well as his cheeky monkey), and the American stranger who comes into their lives. We follow the adventures of the "small men" of the village of Sayan, near Ubud-and their instruments -as they learn to play the famous music of Bali. ISBN:9780794600747
