Bali: A Musical Inspiration

For music lovers, Bali holidays can be an enlightening experience, with Balinese performances being rich, unique and rhythmic. Though it is little known, Balinese musical tradition has been influential on western music and throughout the world, and a number of well known composers have incorporated elements of Balinese influence into their works. Traditional Balinese music is as much about spiritual worship as it is about the musical notes. This gives the music a distinctly soulful feel, as the very heart of the melody lies in religious worship.
