[...] Thank you, Bali & thank you, BALIwww.COM Published 0 minutes ago in Bali Hotels & Villas by lilacita We, Lila Cita, a Balinese gamelan group, along with Lila Bhawa, our sister Dance group, have just returned to London, UK, from our first Bali tour. The participation for the 28th PKB, Bali Arts Festival, was the main achievement of our trip, but during our two and a half weeks together on this magical island, we have collectively seen, done and learnt so much both musically and culturally. Thanks to our Balinese hosts and music/dance teachers (plus warm-hearted audience), our performances also succeeded beyond our expectations.http://blog.baliwww.com is full of interesting articles and beautiful visual data, especially relating to arts. The daily photo collection of PKB in the photo gallery are great asset to anyone interested in Balinese music and dance. We particularly treasure the set of photos which accompanied the article of our own PKB performance. Without enough resources, we couldn’t arrange a photographer to record our important stage. Please visit our homepage lilacita.com to see the rest of the collection BALIwww.COM kindly let us use. Thank you again from everyone from Lila Cita and Lila Bhawa. [...]
