Burat Wangi

In case anyone is interested in World Music, Burat Wangi, a performance ensemble of which I am a member, is performing at the Disney Center's REDCAT (Roy E. Disney, Cal Arts Theatre) venue on April 4-5. Information is on the attachment. The performance includes masked dances, fully costumed dancers and performers, monkey chant and instrumental pieces from Bali. The sounds and visuals are stunning. Hope some of you can make it.

Thank you,
