Profile

Jukung Music
Bali is one of the few places in the world with a thriving traditional performing arts scene. Rather than losing their momentum in contemporary society, these traditions are showing signs of increasing popularity due to influences like tourism. However, it is also true to say that some classical performing arts passed down from ancient times are being lost. Jukung Music started up in July 2000 with the aim of supporting these traditions and developing diverse projects to promote arts and cultural exchange between Japan and Indonesia.
