Kecak Dance is one of the most famous dances of Bali, is unusual because it has no musical accompaniment like many other Indonesian dances to the rhythm of the dance song is produced by the 'monkey' chorus. The singing noise "Cak-CAK, CAK" gave the dance its name Kecak. The choir of 50 men organized into a ring around a flame, to produce a stage. Men not only the rhythm of this dance but also act as the various armies of monkeys that appear on the history and the undulating snake in one of the scenes.
The history of dance is taken from the Ramayana epic that tells the king of evil Rahwana using deception to abduct Rama's wife Dewi Sint, and how with the help of the army of white, Rama rescues his wife and Rahwana defeats evil. But dance is a traditional Balinese dance that developed in the 1930s in the village of Bona specifically for western tastes. If you get a chance to go to a dance Kecak go because it is an experience not to be missed.
