DESCRIPTION: "Gamelan Galak Tika is the Boston area's first and foremost Balinese gamelan. We've been together since 1993, studying and performing both traditional and modern Balinese music and dance, as well as developing new, innovative works that cross borders and defy genres. A community ensemble in residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we've now performed throughout New England as well as internationally, and collaborated with artists from across the globe, including Chinese pipa masters, Senegalese drummers, and some of the finest musicians on the American jazz and new music scene."
