And even to look more attractive, kadek ferry ( f ) & mayumi inouye ( m ) created a style of a keyboard stand with the feel and design of Bali.
The design of this “GAMELAN” (?) was made in such a way as to give the impression of a whole between an electric musical instrument (keyboard) with Balinese gamelan. And the result is very satisfying!

Very different than usual, which is only danced by 4-6 people, but for this time will be danced by 20 children dancers, from the Peliatan Village.
Children were so excited and patiently waiting for the make-up and wearing costumes that they would use.
It was almost at 8, we are increasingly rushing to solve the make-up and dressing up. Finally, thanks to the enthusiasm and cooperation, all the dancers are ready to come forward.
After the Regent and Assessment Team from the Government of Gianyar Regency arrived and MC opened the event, then the show began. The Pendet dancers dancing with very typical movement, the Peliatan style. The entire audience gave a very rousing speech.
After Pendet followed by a chorus of PKK, so graceful with the song “Welcome to the Village Peliatan”, “Bungan Sandat”, “Mars PKK”, and “Mars KB”. Standing ovation the audience was again echoing.
Even more during the day, after completion of the assessment, as entertainment for the Assessment Team at lunch, the Genta Bhuana Sari performed the Niko Mask Dance, and at certain times interspersed with instrumental keyboard accompaniment, single gamelan collaboration with f . This collaboration is played spontaneously without any special training, but the results are pretty good.
