Description

Four top musicians from the “Island of a Thousand Temples” bring a one-of-a-kind show to Shanghai, led by Indonesian guitar virtuoso Wayan Balawan. Known for his signature double-neck guitar and looping techniques, Balawan fuses Balinese gamelan, jazz improvisation, rock energy, and electronic textures into a spellbinding soundscape. Joined by drummer Gusti Agung Isa Abhijana, keyboardist Four Gede Yudis, and bassist Ketut Tarmadi, the ensemble blends ancient rhythms with modern sonic experimentation, creating a performance that is both mystical and electrifying. This is more than a concert—it’s a meeting of Eastern tradition and Western modernity, a contemporary stage rebirth of the island’s timeless spirit. Balawan, whose career began with the “Batuan Fusion” band, has toured across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., appearing at festivals from Tong Tong in the Netherlands to Germany’s International Guitar Night, bringing his unique “eight-finger” technique and transcendent musical vision to audiences worldwide.
