In the 1930s, Canadian musician Colin McPhee became entranced by the traditional music of Bali: the gamelan.
He was moved by the poverty that surrounded him to buy instruments forthe children of the village where he lived. Those boys went on to become famous fortheir playing all over Bali. Maria Bakkalapulo revisits the island to talk to the original Balinese child musicians, now in their
70s. She also talks to Philip Glass about the profouna effect McPhee's obsession with the gamelan has had on his own compositions. Producer Sara Jane Hall
