I think he's Indonesian.  :)

Thanks, Peter! That I got...

Isn't it ironic that Debussy and other composers enriched Western music with gamelan brought from Indonesia at the beginning of the 1900s, and one century later this gentleman takes only what is kitsch and in bad taste back there?  ::)

Well, apparently one of those "insterstellar musical worlds"  :o ::)  way beyond my zone of comforrt and  comprehension. (Even if I do like a good dose of funny kitsch).
Still, I applaud all efforts, from Egypt, to Morocco, Indonesia, India and Congo to help musicians make ...music. Orchestras and choruses are supported, music halls are opened and huge masses seem enjoy the extravagant spectacles.

I find the fake 18th century music of miss Deutscher and co more frightening...
