Gamelan Raga Kusuma, Richmond's community Indonesian gamelan orchestra, is ten years old this year. In honor of the occasion, they're performing Sunday night at the Grace Street Theater with their kronchong string-band spinoff Rumput and with guest artists from DC's Indonesian embassy.
Also in honor of the occasion, Gamelan Raga Kusuma returns to WRIR to play live in Studio C this week on Global A Go-Go. Before they go on the air, you'll hear recorded music from the band who'll be playing live on Global A Go-Go next week: The Nile Project, featuring artists from Egypt, Ethiopia, Burundi and all the countries who share the Nile River.
A podcast of this week's program will be available soon at http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/series/Global+A+Go-Go.
