Performed by more than 200 men seated in tight concentric circles around a small central space reserved for the chief protagonists, the ketjak (or Ramayana Monkey Chant) was first recorded in Bali by David Lewiston and released by Nonesuch Records in 1969. As a spectacular and alternative performance mode, it has had a germinal influence on western performance and poetics since then. Audio.
It was somewhat popularised by the documentary film Baraka. Clip.
