HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last Saturday, like millions of people around the world, we celebrated the new year, happy to turn the page on COVID. Despite the uncertainties that remain for 2023, the wishes exchanged between the participants were particularly optimistic and even enthusiastic. It must be said that the program for the evening could only make people happy: a gargantuan buffet around the traditional Babi Guling, 2 orchestras playing Jeggog and Anklung music accompanying traditional Balinese dances and an orchestra performing live rockabilly music from 70s 80s (a great moment when a guest took the microphone to perform several songs in a simply magnificent deep voice). At midnight, fireworks were fired from the beach ending the evening in apotheosis.
Selamat Tahun Baru!

BALINESE DANCES

/in

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Sophie and Damien who stayed with us for 10 days. Among our various activities, they particularly appreciated the Balinese dance entertainment. For years we have supported the school of traditional dances of Pekutatan where young and talented dancers practice this beautiful art on our stage. Every week we welcome dancers during their rehearsals. On this occasion, our customers are invited to discover the symbolism of the gestures and the complex movements of these thousand-year-old dances. We are very happy that Sophie and Damien enjoyed them.

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of doctors and nurses who are on the front lines of the fight against the pandemic.
We would have liked to reconnect with the memorable Dajuma evenings organized around traditional dances accompanied by local orchestras. But distancing requires, it will be for the next time, just waiting for you!

LEARNING BEAUTIFUL JEGOG MUSIC

Is there a better object for teaching a little bit of music to a 2 years old kid, than this impressive Jegog instrument, so typical of West Bali? This is what happened to Anatole in the Dajuma garden where thrones the beautiful instrument. It exists in different sizes, the one shown on the picture being medium. From the bamboo, It generates deep vibrations which are just hypnotic and makes you feel in communion with nature. Undoubtedly, Anatole loved it! Perhaps will he be able in some years to play in the village orchestra! That’s what we wish for him!

This year again, Dajuma celebrated the New Year in a very festive way. More than 80 guests enjoyed the New Year Eve with 3 orchestras (Jegog, Gamelan and Western Live), a pantagruelic buffet including, beside other dishes, the famous “babi guling” and delicious desserts prepared by our kitchen team under the attentive supervision of our 2 Chefs, Dedi and Rudi. The decoration theme this year was “nature”. All our staff participated in the preparation of very nice decorative items including a splendid Garuda entirely made of bamboo and palm leaves. The kitchen stands and the stage were also decorated with natural leaves. On the 12th stroke of midnight, everybody was happy to exchange their wishes for 2020 under the stars and a beautiful firework. We wish you a very happy, healthy and exciting year 2020!
