That was so unique hip hop and culture combined. New ideas such as these really make creativity valued and cherished, loved it.

[power13]

oh yeah we also have this program in canada! so proud...

[tugekistri]

wow the kecak dance looks good, I miss doing the kecak dance with my father and to see it just reminds me of my father.

[tugekistri]

I told him yeah right in your dreams. From what my father have'd taught us and mind you that he was a well known baliness choreographer and composer, baliness music is very religious and tradtional. But I think my father would love to see something new of course not touching the tradional baliness dance, something new wouldn't hurt the baliness culture, at least people can be exposed to the baliness culture.

[tugekistri]

oh wow, finally baliness music and hip hop something different and not so traditional. My older brother Tu rah deh had always wanted to combine hip hop with baliness music.

[maghijn]

American Culture is the fusion of many cultures. Cross the street in the US and you move from an Asian culture to an Anglo one; from African-American to Old-World European; from affluent to impoverished; from "pure bred" to ethnically mixed.

Much of the world has a stereotype for Americans which seems based on bigots who live in rural areas... but the set of all "gun-totin' self-righteous yeehaws" merely comprises one more cultural minority here.

[Heftron]

I've seen that on Emanuellle!...I could have sworn that movie was based in Thailand!

[gongx24]

wohoo, Indonesia rocks!

[raymund0203]

being asian and lives in the europe for many years. i can not see how on earth the hip hop can be mixed with the traditional balinese temple dance. to do it is to change or stain the essence of the aesthetic beauty of the balinese culture. sorry it just does not appear nice. i can't immagine to go to bali again to see the traditional dance mixed with hip hop moves. for the young people it is just good to exchange viewing and appreciate their own culture as it it.

[thelopsidedwalrus]

But see... what you need to understand is that to people who are not a part of that culture, they see that the Balinese find it sacred, but to them, it's something different. The answer changes depending on your point of view. And a lack of acceptance to even try any mixing is going to be seen as snobby to other people. And that doesn't help anything, either. What about the aesthetic beauty of hip hop?

[raymund0203]

excuse me, do you really mean that if i go to bali again, i will see some bali hip hop dance presentation? maybe i will see some bali dancers doing hip hop. look hip hop can maybe take something from balinese but not the other way round. no offense. it is a culture that was honed for hundred of years by it's tradition, nothing to be added more.

[thelopsidedwalrus]

That's your opinion. I don't have to agree. And I don't. I don't participate in either form of dance/culture, but I think you're wrong. All cultures are started by people, therefore all of them are flawed, filled with holes and have room for improvement. Bali isn't better or more complete than anything else. Just because it's been around longer doesn't mean it's superior or more meaningful.

[ruisu81]

Oh man, when I saw people doing the cak dancing in Baraka I flipped my lid.

Anyway, I like what you guys are doing. What the kid from Brooklyn says about one's culture being one of many, is true.

[mdkid]

nice

[jinjin16]

Great Fusion. Thank you for the inspiration of uniting culture through dance and other medium.

[SakantaRunningWolf]

Thank you for this! Uniting in dance and music. Celebrating the sacred and secular. How can we get this into schools? I would love to share this in my

Dance Move Dance Event - Music and dance for all ages,

to celebrate, heal, transform, inspire. Send me the cd/video! Sakanta Running Wolf, MS, Metis
