i have seen this dance in nusa dua in bali and it was a very exciting dance to watch, bali island is a very unique place to go and has some of the most kindest peole you could meet even though most of the population have nothing , they have high spirits . The local kids have hrs of fun kicking an old ball round, while in the uk they scream if they cant have there latest playstation game. when i got back from bali i was very sad at leaving such a wonderfull place.

hi. sorry but the kecak does not originate from the telling of the Ramayana. that was an idea to entertain tourists. the kecak was a part of a ritual involving young maidens in each village. the chanters would form a circle around the girls and the "cak cak" was used to put them into trance while they danced. they believed it brought the village good luck. still, i loved the video you put together. bali has such a unique culture rich with art.:-)

Hi.Todays Kecak in Uluwatu was re-invented to last one hour in the 30's for tourists but it comes from an older and much longer play which originates from the Ramajana:

Rama, a warrior and rightful hier to the throne of Ayodya, is exiled with his wife Sita to a faraway desert. There, an evil king spies Sita, falls in love with her, and sends a golden deer to lure Rama away. Sita is captured, and Rama rounds up his armies to defeat those of the evil king and rescue her.
