Starting out as behind the scenes volunteers at minikino.org, Edo, a qualified music teacher, and Cika, a talented architect, are devoted to short films
Being a great jazz musician was his teenage dream. But one fateful afternoon, this shy Balinese guy set eyes on the beautiful body of a Canon SLR, dumped music and moved his heart to photography.
Who are you when you start with nothing, sell your motorbike to support your habit, go bankrupt several times over and, despite all of this, still refuse to quit?
His very existence brings with it the hope that Bali, musically speaking, still has a big, bright future.
Starting with a smooth and sensible romance with Jazz, this girl grabbed punk rock with just the kind of rough and in-your-face approach that punk rock requires.
Ubud, the informal Indonesian art capital, already has two major international events and in a few months the Ubud Village Jazz Festival shall knock that tally up to three.
Other than Putu, Made, Nyoman and Ketut, one of the most generic names you're likely to find in Bali is "Gusde".
You can learn a thing or two about dedication and integrity from this die-hard duo. Agung and Eka have brought local documentary movies back alive and kicking.
Satu dari sangat sedikit sosok menonjol di Bali yang relatif bebas dari praktek lancung Korupsi-Kolusi-Nepotisme.
The terms "from zero to hero" or "rags to (intellectual) riches" may well suit Dewa Palguna perfectly.
He has chosen to live a rock-n-roll life and spins reggae tunes now, instead of pursuing his previous brilliant career as a hotelier. Following his heart seems to have worked out well.
The guy behind one of the longest running NGO in Bali---Wisnu Foundation, the person who walks the talk of so-called "creative industry" even before the term was coined; the calm but sharp man, Suarnatha, has a big plan. A very big plan.
Bali coffee has perhaps not yet quite received the respect it deserves.
Wis and his band, The Hydrant, are the pioneers of rockabilly in millennium-era Indonesia.
Ibu Robin believes that love heals. Since 2003 she has volunteered to help mothers in Bali deliver babies (via the Bumi Sehat Foundation).
Soon after he made the decision to quit working for a Seattle-based cruise company, Odeck began a mini cuisine revolution by introducing---arguably---the first ever fine dining concept to the Ubud food scene via "Ary's Warung".
At home, not that many people know who she really is.
Even though he has inherited the legacy of the world famous Neka Art Museum in Ubud, he doesn't just stop there.
![THE STONES CRAWDADDY-O
On this date in 1963, The Rolling Stones started a Sunday night residency at The Crawdaddy Club, located at the back of The Station Hotel in Surrey, England.
The Stones were paid £24 ($41) for the gig. This first gig was not a commercial success; Giorgio Gomelsky, the club promoter, had to plead with customers of the main hotel to attend, offering two entries for the price of one ticket—it ended up with a total of 66 people.
And it was at the Crawdaddy Club The Stones met The Beatles on 14 April 1963. “Halfway through the set we kind of glanced up, and there were four silhouetted leather-clad persons standing just in front of the bandstand in amongst all these kids who were all dancing and playing around,” Bill Wyman recalled, noting that John, Paul, George and Ringo were “being totally ignored by the audience.” “I turned round to Charlie [Watts], and I said, ‘It’s the Beatles!’ They’d had two or three big No. 1 hits and they were like the rave of England at that time. So when we finished our set, we got chatting to them and had beers, and they stayed for the second set."
After the show, the two groups went back to the Chelsea flat shared by Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and Keith Richards. "We hung out all night playing blues music, just talking about music and became great mates.”
