Gamelan is widely known in Indonesia and abroad. There are many gamelan groups outside Indonesia. This is due to several factors like Indonesian migration ([[Javanese people|Javanese]], [[Balinese people|Balinese]], or [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]]) and cultural interest, which brought and introduced gamelan abroad. The government of Indonesia is also actively promoting culture abroad through cultural missions and actively opening Darmasiswa<ref>''Darmasiswa Scholarship Program 2019''.
