Dikir Barat

Dikir Barat is a traditional group song. This is usuallly found in Kelantan and Trengganu state on the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia. Its a to and fro singing, and is quite enchanting to watch.   Wikipedia has an excellent write up at Dikir Barat.

Here is a video by Rentakinitv. It starts off with an occult cleansing ceremony (very mild version) and then goes on into Dikir Barat proper.
