I actually studied this in an ethnomusicology class in college. I thought those non-major related classes were a waste of time, but now I can appreciate the broad insights I've gained through them.

This dance is called "Kecak", it's a ritual dance from Bali, indonesia, to repents evil. I'm indonesian, although i've seen this dance before, still, everytime i see this mystical ritual, it always gives me chills. It's just so transcendental, something that we can't easily understand.

[jamesgroome]

This is more than very moving. They seem to know something we don't for example!

[frojfitzgerald]

It's only a matter of time before people realize that Baraka was a HUGE influence on James Cameron's Avatar. Keep in mind Baraka was released just a couple of years before Cameron first proposed his idea for Avatar to producers.

[babyycat]

This is the monkey song and dance.

[sonrisa86]

if this kind of things still exist in our world, it's a wonder.

"Leader" of the dance is funny :) looks like he's really enjoying! :D

[pranashanti]

Wish I was one of them!! : ) Is anyone know where it come from?

[BONESuca]

They're performing 'Kecak', a Balinese Monkey Chant. Filmed in Tampaksiring, Bali, Indonesia.

[TheMrGabble]

@pranashanti From Indonesia, it's quite a recent dance brought by an occidental, it tells an ancient story but i don't know exactly the kind of story...

Still crazy stuff

[technick78]

@pranashanti Bali Indonesia.

[Kendrickchow]

@pranashanti indonesia. it's a ritual to worship the monkey god. the main guy becomes possessed by the god's spirit and leads the chant in a polyrhythmic style

[Namayanja4]

So effing sweet.

[MovieMajic01]

[tall32guy]

@MovieMajic01 It's interesting but to me there are WAY more striking parts to this movie!! :)
