These gamelan have been preserved as essential implements of local ritual-music associations that have protected them from change for generations. In contrast, much of the rest of the island abandoned gong gede in the early twentieth century in favor of modern gamelan. Inseparable from its highland ritual context, gong gede endure in Bali’s remote highlands because they are inseparable from ritual context, which has resulted in musical diversity within the broader ecosystem of Balinese music. </br></br>This diversity simultaneously marginalizes communities to some degree from mainstream musical innovation. However, it also empowers local ritual music associations within sophisticated social networks that play a major role in protecting and preserving these ancient antique orchestras. Using a ‘pluralism of musical structures’ as an analytical framework for discussing musical diversity, this article looks at how highland communities protect and maintain gong gede as ‘living traditions’ by examining their history, social context and musical style to see what keeps local traditions from succumbing to mainstream musical trends.m succumbing to mainstream musical trends.)

• Puikin Pelih, Luungan Ojog Pepes Dadiang Tongos Maguna  + (Through the Wikithon Public Participation- … Through the Wikithon Public Participation-Bale Banjar contest, I, Ni Kadek Sintia Dewi, am ready to build the spirit of the Balinese people, especially women, so that they can use the bale banjar as a creative space to create, spread, and maintain good ideas. Here are creative ideas that I can give according to the interview in this video:</br></br>All villages in Bali have several places fit according to their functions. One of the common places in the village is the bale banjars. A bale banjar is usually used as a place for villagers, especially for neighbors to meet, gather, and do different things. Bale banjar is also usually used as a place to carry out large-scale activities because the place is usually wide.</br></br>Talking about what can be used from the bale banjar, as I know the bale banjar is usually used as a place to learn to play Balinese musical instruments, to learn how to dance, to conduct competitions, to cook, to make ogoh-ogoh whenever Pangrupukan day approaches, to hold Posyandu (regular healthcare program for mothers and newborns), and so on. However, of all of these activities, not all go on regularly. Some are only done on certain days. On other occassions, the bale banjar looks empty and the fence is tightly closed.</br></br>For the bale banjar to be used optimally by residents, especially by women, there are innovations that can be done. For example, young women can meet every Sunday afternoon to write short stories or poetry in the bale banjar. They can write on their gadgets instead of on papers, following the modern era as it is today. This will enable them to gather and get to know each other and can also develop the potential of the younger generation to write in order to pour out their feelings (emotions) or share their everyday stories to other people. After collecting several works, these can be compiled as an anthology. And if possible, the anthology book can be distributed to schools in the village as a media for student literacy.</br></br>Mothers can take advantage of the banjar bale as a place for monthly social gatherings. There they can meet with other mothers. By doing so, they can reduce their home boredom and they can go for recreation or entertainment in the bale banjar. At the social gathering, there is “jimpitan” money (shared money) that can be used as cash for other useful things with shared benefits.</br></br>Let's use the bale banjar as a place to spread creativity together! as a place to spread creativity together!)

This short video platform is now gaining popularity in Indonesia, used by people of all levels. Bali as the world’s tourist destination is also inevitably influenced by the popularity of this app. Many Balinese are actively creating content on TikTok. Some create ‘a day in my life’ contents, dance covers, cinematic video, musics, or just scrolling and sharing videos or links to others. Seen from the technological perspective, the contents in TikTok is very helpful in spreading information and entertainment. However, have you ever wondered if TikTok would gradually diminish the local culture and tradition in Bali? We know that Bali has a lot of culture and traditions that need to be preserved. Gradually, however, many Balinese people no longer are concerned with or learn about their own culture. For example, today’s younger generation prefer following TikTok’s dance trends to learning Balinese dance. If continued, it will influence the existence of Balinese culture because Bali is well-known for its unique culture, not for TikTok trends. It is important, therefore, for us Balinese to always remember to preserve our culture that has been flourishing since olden times. It’s okay if people want to follow TikTok trends, but it would be better if we Balinese join by setting new trends on it with our own Balinese cultural touches. For instance, we can show how Balinese dance is performed, how Balinese music is played, how Balinese make-up is done, and other cultural contents.

Tourism in Bali has had a positive impact on the economy of the region and the country as a whole. Apart from that, it also provides job opportunities for many people.</br>However, the increasing number of tourists from various countries visiting Bali means that more foreign cultures are also coming to Bali, which of course causes a shift in Balinese culture. There are concerns that in the future the culture in Bali will fade due to modernization and rapid lifestyle changes. Bali's rich and diverse culture, such as traditional dances, carvings and traditional ceremonies, is increasingly rare due to the influence of tourism which leads to modernization. Many of the tourists who come to Bali view Balinese culture as mere entertainment and do not understand the meaning behind every traditional dance and ceremony. In addition, many tourists who come to Bali are just to relax on the beach or party, and are not interested in learning or appreciating Balinese culture and some even bring their culture to Bali. As a result, many Balinese feel compelled to adapt to the wishes of tourists, and ignore their traditions and customs.</br>However, we cannot fully blame tourism for the fading/shifting of our culture. It is very important for us to balance tourism and also the preservation of Balinese culture. Therefore, we must jointly preserve Balinese culture, by teaching cultural values to the younger generation and keeping Balinese cultural heritage alive. And also educate tourists about the values and beauty of Balinese culture. That way, we can ensure that tourism in Bali in the future will not only provide economic benefits, but also help preserve the rich and meaningful culture of Bali.</br>In conclusion, the tourism industry in Bali must appreciate and support the sustainability of Balinese culture so that it does not become a victim of modernization.

In addition to dance, gamelan art is also no less cool because many foreign people have participated in learning Balinese gamelan. This proves that gamelan is well known on the international stage. But what's interesting is "Carving Art", an art that displays this beauty, is not much in the interest of young people. So not many people know how to make Balinese carvings.

• BALI TOURISM BASED ON TRI HITA KARANA  + (Bali is an island that is very well known … Bali is an island that is very well known to various parts of the world because of its tourism industry. This is because in Bali there are various unique tourist destinations that are different from other regions. The uniqueness starts from customs, traditions, culture, as well as very beautiful and beautiful tourist spots. However, even though Bali is said to be an advanced tourism sector and is well known in parts of the world. Still, tourism in Bali still has its drawbacks and is not fully running perfectly. This is because the people in Bali who are the driving forces of the tourism sector have not fully implemented the Tri Hita Karana principles. Tri Hita Karana are the three causes for the creation of happiness, which can be carried out by having good relations with Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa or God Almighty (prahyangan), fellow human beings (Pawongan), and with nature (palemahan). So, the people in Bali are very good at implementing the Prahyangan and Pawongan principles, but they forget about the Palemahan principle. This can be seen from various tourist spots in Bali where it is a pity that the environment is damaged due to plastic waste. Even though the scenery of these tourist attractions is very beautiful, and again the beauty is lost because there is a lot of plastic waste that covers the place. The real evidence is that most of the beaches in Bali that are damaged have plastic waste that destroys the beauty of the beach. All of this happened due to the lack of attention from the people in Bali to take care of the environment or apply the Palemahan principle in the context of the Tri Hita Karana dance. This can also be seen from the many tourists who visit Bali, where they are not native dance people, they take good care of Bali. Where they want to protect the environment by picking up the existing trash. Therefore, it is fitting for us as indigenous Balinese to apply the principle of Tri Hita Karana so that the tourism sector continues to progress and does not sink because the environment in tourism areas is damaged.

For example, the use of imported products that are more dominant than local products makes the economic market for local craftsmen decline. In addition, the culture in Bali is very broad, many new cultures have entered Bali, starting from the language, the way of dress and the art of music that have developed over time. With all these developments we must also preserve Balinese culture by using local products, speaking good Balinese, and studying or developing Balinese arts such as dance and musical arts such as gamelan.

The orphanage is unchanged by time, the same brown walls rising into the sky and ivy growing thick between gaps. Behind it, the sun is setting––bright, golden light dances along the edges of scattered clouds, like drizzled honey.</br>The streets behind me are alight with the hum of motorcycles. Their wheels trace skid marks onto the road, causing a flurry of asphalt to set into the air. But for a moment, I just stand here. Taking in the scene in front of me, the stories vivid in each passing whisper, each movement: people walking, unique-faced and smiling, learning to appreciate this culture of dreaming and finding the beauty in the little things.</br>I follow the sounds of laughter and glee, everything seeming so awake, so alive.</br>The children are never still. They talk, play, dance, sing. They fly kites and paper aeroplanes, build golden castles of sand. It makes me remember that we are beings with hands and legs, and we could walk, run, wander, and wonder. We can use this space as a microcosm of the world, new nations to discover, acting as travellers in foreign lands. We could look at the ocean and think of the shells as little ships. Docked and waiting for adventure.</br>These adventures are so personal to us, but this island teaches us to remember that we share the same sky, the same sun, the same ocean.

The caretakers have the brightest smiles, each line in their palms like intertwining roots, replete with journeys—sailing the ocean, touching the reflection of the moon. Somehow, they were led here. A place where giving was an act that became as routine as breathing. They craft handmade gifts, write letters, and make intricate drawings born from determination and crayon shavings. They sing for each other and care for each other, and it is enough, more than enough. We are taught that the power of giving is something so profound yet so simple, a currency that costs nothing but means everything.</br></br>Before the sun falls asleep, the children wander to a rice paddy field, hand-in-hand with their caretakers.

• "Ge-Gambelan" as a Guide to Religious Life Towards Unity in Differences  + (Indonesia views religion as a means and pl … Indonesia views religion as a means and place to organize people's lives for the better. This is marked by Indonesia recognizing the existence of God. As stated in the first principle of Pancasila reads "Belief in the One and Only God". Religion is also seen as a teaching whose contents are all about truth. In Indonesia there are six religions that are officially recognized by the government, including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity (Protestantism), Christianity (Catholicism), and Confucianism. But in fact lately, religious differences are often a source of division and disharmony in society. The above quote is an excerpt in Kakawin Sutasoma which means, even though they are different, in fact they are still one. What must be used as a guideline is how to unite and respect each other in differences. Because with these differences we can create a beautiful and harmonious life.</br>Since long ago, our ancestors and elders in Bali have given messages related to this difference in religion. This is marked by the existence of the Gegambelan or Gambelan. Gegambelan is a collection of traditional Balinese musical instruments which are played in an ensemble or together. Gamelan comes from the word "gambel" which means to hold. Gamelan consists of several types of musical instruments such as Gangsa, Trumpet, Gong, Petuk, Flute, Cengceng and many more. Besides that, looking at the shape, it turns out that each gamelan is different with its own characteristics. But the drummers (players) know that there is one goal, namely to make the melodies sound beautiful and harmonious.</br>Thus, this gamelan philosophy is the same as the condition of the plurality of religions in Indonesia. Different in religious teachings, but actually have one goal, namely the truth. Why are gamelan different in shape and form, but can be harmonious? Because in playing gamelan we are able to respect each other to give each other room to move after what we hold and we adhere to. Just imagine if the Gangsa and Gong sounded together and preceded each other. Besides that, the teachings of Tat Twam Asi should be implemented as a concept of respecting all living things in this world.
