Monkey Chant at Burning Man

I want to be there!

I swear on someone dear's grave that I will attend burning man, when the timing and finances are right, by myself (so no one I know will see me misbehave), and make a complete ass-monkey out of myself with a bunch of people who are thinking the same thing. This honestly seems very theraputic.

Yep, that was Grady. I met him last week, he did a short Kecak session with us and also told us about Burning Man. We kept making funny noises and cak cak for hours after the event, couldn't stop it, I rarely felt so alive.

yay, i'm so glad someone finally replied... isn't he amazing? and it so true about feeling more alive than you ever have been... i'd love to be a part of one of his kecak sessions again

I've done both extensively. Burning Man is a wonderful experience. In fact, many people from around the world decide to use their money and vacation time to attend it.

Oh, and I suppose you personally find this religiously significant?
For your information, it was written for tourism purposes. Look it up.

Kecak has roots in old balinese trance dance. In early 20th century some german artist liked what he saw and recreate it into a drama for tourists (mostly Europeans). In conclusion it balinese ritual that turned to savage natives circus to entertain the civilized whites. You need to do more research.

@wallahzaman: if it wasn't for the German artist, you would never have known about Kecak, since the original ritual is off limits for non-Balinese. Look, that's the problem with you purists. You create a conflict where there is none. The Balinese like the Monkey Chant, they appreciate if we follow their example and enjoy the great energy of Kecak, and at the same they preserved their sacred version of the ritual. It's their job to protect their tradition not yours. For me, Kecak is joy.
