Where is Negara?

Bali Map

Negara in Jembrana has the traditional musical percussion, "Jegog" and a tradtional dance "Makepung", but tourists rarely visit there due to the inconvenient location which takes 4 hours by car from the resort area.


Suar Agung

Suar AgungNegara has many Jegog bands, but Suar Agung leading by Mr. Suwentra which has been performing abroad is famous as the best. The leader, Mr. Suwentra is the one who opened up the possibility of Jegog even though it was prohabited to perform after the war due to the belief "huge bamboos could be weapons".


Mebarung

MebarungThe best hilight of Jegog is Mebarung as known as "Musical Wrestling" that 2 bands which has total 28 gamelans, 14 for each on the stage play against each other. At first, one band performs and next another plays. Finally both 2 bands play together aggressively. You will feel the vibration of the deep bass tone of the bamboo percussions.
