Kecak Dance
Welcome to Kecak Fire & Trance Dance By Taman Kaja Community
What makes the Kecak special is that the accompanying music is provided by the human voice, the gamelan suara,
a choir of a hundred men or more sitting in concentric circles, swaying, standing up, lying prone as the story develops.
Amongst the swaying masses the voices of the storytellers can be heard telling the unfolding tale.
