Kecak dance

An enchanting Kecak (monkey dance) performance is held in the temple grounds at sunset.
The Kecak is an unusual Balinese dance for a couple of reasons:
First, there is no musical accompaniment. The gamelan is not there.
Rhythm is provided by a chanting 'monkey' chorus. The polyrhythmic sound of the chanting provides the name, 'Ke-chak'.
