Kecak Dance in Bali

A clip from a non-narrative documentary film called Baraka (1992) by Ron Fricke. The clip includes several magnificent spots in Indonesia with the focus on Kecak Dance, or also known as Ramayana Monkey Chant. It is performed by a circle of 150 or more performers wearing checked cloth around their waists, chanting “cak“ and throwing up their arms, depicts a battle from the Ramayana. This is a popular Balinese dance that attracted million people around the world. Beautifully hypnotizing to see this dance. *
