Have you ever heard "Kecak dance" ?
It's a form of Balinese Hindu dance and music drama that was developed in the 1930s in Bali, Indonesia. The concept of Kecak dance is a dance drama. Most of the dance drama stories in it are based on the Ramayan story.
When you watch the Kecak dance, you will hear the sound of "Cak Cak Cak". It's the voice from the dancer as Kecak dance doesn't use any musical instruments.
I've watched it live once when I went to Bali on December 2022. And it's soooo great!
The photo is a kecak dance in Uluwatu, Bali. A friend of mine is currently in Bali and he sent me the photo

Yes, I saw it in person during a study tour to Bali several years ago. But I don't really remember except for the sound of "Cak cak cak cak" while raising both hands up.
