If You Missed Bamboo Gamelon at July 4th Fête

El Cerrito's annual July 4th festival had a lot going on, so no one could enjoy all there was to offer. We thank "giantukulele" for posting this video of Gamelan Sekar Jaya performing on the main stage. Think of bamboo-tube on YouTube.

El Cerrito's has become so a big – a giant carnival of music, rides, food, art, information booths and assorted community socializing – that it's impossible to savor all that's offered.

The entertainment on the main stage alone could occupy one's attention for the whole day.

So for those who missed the upbeat, infectious rhythms and melodies coaxed out of bamboo tubes by Berkeley-based Gamelan Sekar Jaya, we are glad to offer this video we found on YouTube of their performance.
