In the ´tari kebyar duduk`the kebyar is in the - let´s say, almost middle. But I really have to admit that the dancer is wonderfull! I was looking for some versions of the tari and what is most striking bout yours, is the dance

sorry for the delay. Well what I mean with ´kebyar´ is that part of a gamelan gong kebyar piece or also kreasi baru(gending)that derived from the word byar (to flare up) and gave this whole style the name, by which we kno it: gong KEBYAR. This part is quite often played as a kind of opening to the piece - it doesnt really have a regular gong cycle, but is quite abstract. An you tube sample easy to find is ´tari truna jaya´ - u can hear the kebyar part right in the beginning.

Ooops...piece

Yes... Maksudaku, the kebyar part was obviously cut off the clip. I played this peace and I´m pretty sure that there is a kebyar part in the (almost) middle of it.

By 1919 the style of Kebyar was well established. The King of Tabanan, who served also as the Dutch regent for his province, sent for a Kebyar orchestra (from North Bali) in that year to play at an important cremation. In the audience was a young and very talented dancer, I Nyoman Mario, who was much impressed by what he heard and who undertook to develop further the dance in a new style. His great contribution was ready in 1925, when he presented Kebyar Duduk for the first time. Ramakuta

Where is the kebyar????

Bali is truly a place where one can attend to such representations. Some scenes are worthy of an opera like this one among others. I would say even more that they have the particularity of dance as well as a dancer choreographic
