People From Denpasar
A person (plural, : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal obligation, legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its us ...

Gamelan Gender Wayang
''Gamelan gender wayang'' is a style of gamelan music played in Bali, Indonesia. It is required for ''wayang'' (shadow puppet theatre) and most sacred Balinese Hindu rituals.

He describes repertoire from Sukawati, noting that the area is famous for shadow play and the development and maintenance of the ''gender wayang'' tradition. The ensemble is ubiquitous in Bali, however, due to its ritual importance, and distinct regional styles feature ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
