Barong Ket

There are many kinds of Barong dance in Bali; the famous one is the Barong Ket dance. You must be wondering, what is Barong Ket?

Barong Ket is a variation or type of Balinese Barong dance. The traditional Barong Ket dance performance depicts the battle between truth and evil. The Barong Ket dance is usually performed during Balinese Hindu temple ceremonies and other cultural events in Bali.

The shape and design of Barong Ket take the form of an animal mix between a tiger, lion, dragon, and cow shape. The entire body of the Barong Ket is decorated with traditional Balinese carvings made from cowhide. In the sculptures, there are dozens of tiny glass mirrors.

When lights hit the small mirror glass, create a sparkling view of the Barong Ket. On the body of Barong Ket, you also will see much fur. The wool is made from dried fibre leaves and usually uses pandan leaves. It required two dancers to wear the Barong Ket costume.

Like the traditional Barong dance, Barong Ket is accompanied by gamelan music and singing. The dance is believed to have spiritual essence and is meant to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits.

Rangda

Of course, during the performance of the Barong Ket dance, also accompanied by the performance of the Rangda dance.

Rangda dance is a traditional Balinese dance depicting a woman who possesses black magic power and is personified as evil. In the dance, Rangda is described as a mighty and frightening figure. In addition, Rangda is depicted with long hair and sharp nails. Also, Rangda’s face shows a scary look with bulging eyes and a sticking-out tongue.

Furthermore, the Rangda dance is usually performed during temple ceremonies within the inner side of Balinese Hindu temples. The Rangda dance performance will accompany by gamelan music and other traditional Balinese musical instruments. In addition, in this dance, Rangda is depicted fighting with Barong.

Rangda is a figure that looks very scary because it is used to represent a symbol of horror. Meanwhile, Barong Ket is a symbol of virtue. Therefore, there will be a Rangda performance for every Barong Ket dance performance. Furthermore, the Rangda dance for Balinese people has a spiritual meaning and is believed to have the power to drive away evil spirits.

Traditional Music Instrument

Balinese traditional music will accompany the performance of the Barong dance Ubud: the Balinese conventional music instrument called Gamelan Semar Pegulingan. If you are curious about the sound of Gamelan Semar Pegulingan, please click the above link!

The first time you hear the sound of Gamelan Semar Pegulingan, it sounds strange to the ear, but you will get used to it after you see the Barong dancer’s movement following the rhythm of Gamelan Semar Pegulingan.
