Description

Deftly painting a close-grained landscape mixing Balinese voices and perspicuous eyewitness reflection, Downing guides us through inspiring stories of girls and women making music in millennial Bali, where few had made it before. The characters and friendships feel so alive because they are changing their world from the bottom up. Their experience of our lived moment is powerfully resonant and inspires reflection on changing gender roles far beyond Bali.--Michael Tenzer, University of British Columbia
