The name “Kecak” is comes from
the words “cak cak cak” that shouted by the dancers during the show. Moreover,
the sound “cak cak cak” is also become the background music of this dance. This
Kecak dance become a unique presentation for it plays by a group of men, when
all of them are sitting in line or circle sounding a special rhythm while shouting
a capella “cak cak cak” and raising their hands up high.
