Gamelan musician, Ubud, Bali

A gamelan is a musical ensemble from Indonesia, typically from the islands of Bali or Java, featuring a variety of instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings.
The word gamelan comes from the Javanese word gamels, meaning "to strike or hammer".
