History of Gajah Mada Town Festival
If we look at back in year 1964, It seems the title of Gajah Mada Town Festival on this occasion to get inspiration from the “Festival of Gajah Mada” (FGM) which was held during the week, 1-7 July 1964 at Gajah Mada Street Denpasar.
FGM events in 1964 that lasted a week is filled with various performances, local art form of Bali, the National Arts and minority ethnic / religious beliefs of others. Group art show any of the parties, ranging from students, students, professional groups, sign art of the village, and the police. The performance of various events and many held simultaneously all at the same time impart some time. At least there is a three-stage, the test site and concluded: Stage Vishnu in the East, the stage in Markets Senggol in the center and Indra Stage in the West.
Bali is the element of the arts competitions of Banten, performing arts, theater prembon perform Mpu Beradah, Barong landung, Kecak Bona, leather puppets, mask dance RRI Denpasar, janger TGA (Park Teachers Top , Saraswati), janger SLUB (Ecole des Hautes General Down, Saraswati), and Arja RRI Denpasar. National Bands of art, such as light andgau Raba, the Putra Dewata Band (Made Tjakra as a leader), the band FKHP (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry), Aneka Ria Band, Sinar Remaja Orchestra, and the Bhineka Nada Band. Hawaiian band group of police also take a part.
There is also dances presented by the national junior Foreign Affairs and the Medical Faculty of Udayana University. That no gap at the Festival of Gajah Mada on stage is magical and buffoonery. Events are generally held at night, and once glorious. FGM become multicultural arts display the “Seruling Pemuda Katolik” and Pencak West Java.
It can be, how bustling Jalan Gajah Mada held during the show. The spectators who came with the bike, public transport, walking or do not necessarily pose a problem situation bottleneck because the city has not crowded just like now. Need to be checked further, that becomes executive of FGM. If local governments or criminals or students Udayana University student organizations or institutions of culture under the cover of political parties at that time, or all working together. What is clear, according media reporting, FGM was held with success, and reflects the Denpasar City as the City of Culture.
Post in 1965 after the coupe, FGM is not there already, but there is a “Denpasar Ria” (DR), which held in late April 1966. In addition to developing the creativity of artists, this event is also intended for entertainment as “mental operation” or the fear that emerged after the mass murder. Then stage activities focused in a closed room, which is in the Denpasar Hotel, Jalan Diponegoro. The hotel is no longer there, the location is now empty form of land, located several blocks north of the Mall Ramayana. It initiated the meetings held each month end. Eyes most fun bands and dance-dance among other national groups occupied by Bali Beach Hotel Band.
