Echoes of Bali: Monkey Chant Music Workshop

Explore the rhythm and energy of Balinese music and performance traditions in this interactive workshop. Participants are invited to join in using only their voices, with no instruments or props required. As they learn the Balinese Monkey Chant (Kecak), participants transform into a chorus of mythical monkeys. The session begins with a brief introduction and cultural background for context. The workshop is led by Dr. Michael Bakan, professor of ethnomusicology and head of the World Music Ensembles Program at Florida State University.
