i'm lost forever in the sound of a hundred men's voices chanting in unison...
i'm captivated by the fire dancing and twirling before my eyes...
i'm mesmerised by many bodies moving together as if one, a sea of perfect choreography...
i'm overwhelmed by the luck i feel at being part of such a special moment, of being surrounded by such creativity and such artistry...
i'm remembering the real reason why i am here and why i love Bali, its' culture and people so much...
such is the intensity of the kecak dance...if you see one and only one dance while here in Bali, make sure it is the kecak dance. a spellbinding dance where the music is made solely by a choir of men's voices. for me the actual dance itself is secondary to the sheer tone and beauty of the men's voices. it is rich, deep and powerful. a music that once enjoyed, you want to hear again and again. my favourite place to see the kecak would have to be in Junjungan...a small village on the outskirts of Ubud. a magical location. definitely not to be missed...
