Professor I Nyoman Wenten Featured in New Gamelan Documentary
A new documentary features Ethnomusicology Professor I Nyoman Wenten and the music of Balinese Gamelan. After 40 years of teaching and performing Gamelan music, Wenten travels to Bali to pay homage to the tradition, and when he returns, he teams up with GRAMMY-award winning vocalist Judith Hill to reintroduce Gamelan to pop music audiences.
