Answer:
Until recently, women in Bali did not participate in playing the gamelan.
Explanation:
Gamelan is a form of traditional music in Indonesia, especially on the islands of Java, Bali, and Sunda. A gamelan ensemble is mostly made up of metal percussive instruments, usually made of bronze or brass. The ensemble consists of over forty instruments in total, including metallophones, xylophones, bamboo flutes, gongs, drums, cymbals, etc.
Traditionally, only men participated in Balinese gamelan ensembles, but recently women started joining as well, even forming all-female gamelan groups.
