In the musical art of Gong Kebyar everyone knows comes from North Bali. "Byaaaaaarrrrrr", a horse that was mondong (transport) of rice fell kebyaran gambelan begedebug when he heard that sounded at the start Gong Kebyar popularity in North Bali. People I Gusti Nyoman Gede (Beloh) from bungkulan very well known in his time as a very good drummer. He was invited everywhere to teach down to the village Kalopaksa. In the gong mabarung, these figures are invited to strengthen some sekaa gong. He can beat the location though terompong penconnya randomized. He has one song called "Sudamala" which just finished last night beaten in two days, with one in 17 gongs. Unfortunately there is no one who could inherit. A skill has gone, who lives just sheer admiration story. This is a testament to the importance of preservation of cultural art. Together with a sekaa gong, his picture in a Dutch book, indicates in the early 20th century, he has already qualified.

Gong Kebyar itself was popular in 1914, where a dancer Nyoman Ngakan Kuta Kebyar dancing to drum gong. Gong Kebyar, emerged as the turbulence created by the artists spark North Bali by taking inspiration from the "marching band" Dutch.

I Gusti Nyoman Gede was not known at present. But the successor generations sepertti Wandres Pan and his students Gde Manik became very famous. Gong Kebyar finally "epidemic" after spreading from Jagaraga to Tabanan - Delod Pangkung and to Belaluan in Denpasar.

Kebyar Legong dance creation and Pan Wandres Terunajaya Gde Manik's creation to be "representative" of the prestigious dance creations. Motion dynamics of this dance with drum accompaniment are racing non-stop, attracts many people until now. From these similar dances then appeared dancing Kebyar Terompong, Kebyar Sit, Oleg Tambulilingan by Ketut Maria in Tabanan and various other freelance dance like Panji Semirang etc. by I Nyoman Kaler in Badung.

Gong tradition Mabarung - berhadapannya two groups (sekaa) gong from a different place, or village in the event Yadnya especially like Ngaben Yadnya Pitra, a feature distinct from growth in North Bali Kebyar Gong. Drum-drum beautiful or complicated, or even directly on the stage Authored displayed in an opportunity like this. Mabarung gong often accompanied by competition makekawin - intone Kakawin rhythm, which sometimes are also interspersed with other performances such as magic and even ... performing black magic. This is not a secret anymore. Two opposite sekaa gong will bring their companion from among those who have black magic or antidote. One sekaa could be bewitched so lethargic, slept soundly, or even diarrhea and vomiting in a place become a familiar scene with this Mabarung tradition.

Gong is a typical song Lelonggoran Kebyar Buleleng. From beginning to end it Lelonggoran dynamic drum rhythms, roaring, fast. Lelambatan songs that are often contested in the CLA - Bali Arts Festival, is not a popular song in Buleleng. That is why artists often complained at the time of Buleleng Bali Arts Festival, because the songs are typical contested compulsory in South Bali. According to some musical artists, this drum can be developed and can be an interesting song creation with its typical fast rushing it.

Knack for beating the drum Gde Manik become a talking point among the South Balinese artists. Drs Madra who is now Secretary of the Supreme Aryasa Listibiya Bali had once seen first hand how bertingkahnya Gde Manik beat drums in the middle of a circle - an arena show in Tabanan. That's typical behavior Buleleng artists.

Differences also exist in the figure of the device Gamelan Gong Kebyar Buleleng. If the South Balinese gamelan hanged, then the North Balinese gamelan dipacek! It's different voice! Unfortunately again, Buleleng artists often lose air. Go along with the hanging gambelannya South Bali, with a variety of reasons. For example, less hard when beaten. Or, another artist said: "Ah gong Pacek was orthodox, old-fashioned," he said. Another commented: "Gong Pacek did not standard in the PKB. If you want to win in the PKB, use hanging gong. " Though the jury PKB at the provincial level, especially the seniors of this distinctiveness mengacungi thumb. Two artists who clearly requested that this type of gong Pacek conserved is Prof Dr Wayan dibia - a professor of ISI and Drs Madra Ariyasa MA - former Chief of SMM-High School Musical, now Secretary Listibiya Bali - Bali Kokar both graduate school and often become jurors PKB.

Also there Fireworks Gong Gong Cenik Kirang or gained in some places, like in the Banjar Kubukelod, bungkulan, Jagaraga and in the Pura Beji, Sangsit. Tembangnya unique and very beautiful. This gambelan even sacred.

Other news again, a set of gongs of Castle Gardens, reportedly already sold to South Bali. People say the device is Semara Pagulingan gong. Meanwhile in the village have been gong Semara Tejakula Pegulingan and Gong Gede. Pande Mustika origin of the lecturers Tejakula ISI Bali, while growing up never find pelawah Gong Gde at Pura village. He had time to collect them, but when school to Denpasar pelawah ditingggal was lost because the wood has been used.
