Biography


In English

Sukra had originally composed the music [for Tumulilingan Mengisap Sari, The Bumblebee Sips Honey, a danced by famed kebyar choreographer I Mario) for a gamelan in Marga, Tabanan, but as it had not been performed, he taught it to the Peliatan group for three weeks. After Sukra returned home, the Peliatan group “polished and rearranged” the music more to their taste, also renaming it. In many ways this was the showpiece of the tour, featured in John Coast’s book, Dancing Out of Bali, and an audio visual recording survives on a kinescope. Sukra is also credited with composing the music for Igel Trompong and Igel Jongkok (later called Kebyar Duduk) in 1915. https://sckool.org/lindstrom-in-bali-1928-part-2-gamelan-gong-kebyar.html?page=2
