Gong music is a traditional genre that stems from the rich cultural heritage of Bali, Indonesia. This genre predominantly highlights the use of the gamelan, an ensemble of percussive instruments that produces a layered, resonant sound. Noteworthy substyles include Gong Kebyar, characterized by its vibrant, dynamic tempo changes and expressive melodies. Ensembles like Sekehe Gong Werdhi Budaya and Gong Kebyar of Peliatan epitomize the genre's hypnotic rhythms and intricate interlocking patterns, often performed at ceremonial events, festivals, and dance dramas. The music evokes a sense of communal harmony and spiritual reverence, capturing the essence of Balinese cultural and artistic identity.
