Its fun because you learn to play things and then do "karaoke" with the instrument you picked with the full gamelan orchestra behind you.
When we were talking about Bollywood and other Arab cultures and such mixing with our cultures, all I could think of was when Josh Groban did the song "Remember me". It was used in the soundtrack for the movie "Troy". So here is a link to the youtube video for that song because I love it so much. :)

In one of my previous posts I talked about the Chinese group that came to Converse. This is a video of them performing at Troy University in Alabama which was their stop right before Converse. Its really cool to watch this video because I can say I had dance class with all of them! And once again, this is all females which fits into my theme of having a female cool thing.

Love the gamelan. Needs embeds rather than links. And late.
