In United Arab Emirates, we can find Javanese Gamelan instruments in The Embassy of Republic of Indonesia in Abu Dhabi. There are 2 tones, Pelog and Slendro. The embassy always holds The event Indonesian night annually. Usually teh people of Indonesia who live there will play the gamelan in the event.

That night, I played javanese gamelan with some friends there. We played The Song SUWE ORA JAMU. All the players, most of them are indonesian women who lived there. It was awesome, we could play the javanese gamelan in other country. Missed Indonesia so much.
