Gamelan Dugun

Japanese: ガムラン・ドゥグン - がむらんどぅぐん
Gamelan Dugun


[Gamelan with bronze instruments as the main focus]
Bronze gamelan, which is centered on instruments, has many commonalities in both Java and Bali, such as the fact that the ensemble is made up of four groups of instruments, that the constituent instruments vary relatively freely around a basic main melody, that it has a unique rhythmic structure based on a four-beat rhythm with emphasis on the last beat, and that it uses a five-tone scale, but there are differences in style between the four regions of West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Bali. In West Java, there are two types, Gamelan Dugung and Gamelan Kulinigang, the former of which has a clear main melody played by the seling and the latter by the singer, and the ensemble of other instruments is not very complex and is subordinate to the main melody. On the other hand, in Bali, there are several types, of which Gamelan Kebyar is the most popular.
