Comment

Flores island, Kabupaten Flores Timur, Kecamatan TANJUNG BUNGA, desa Waiklibang (Keywords): agrarian rite - polyphony - counterpoint A crisis has just taken place. The old narrator, Bapa' Platin, blind, was insulted, mocked by the young people, about his dance step. The old man flies into a rage and in the song utters insanities. To repair the crisis, he sings this song, recalling the unity of the clans. The ritual dokan gurun ("save, set aside, wrap") is done to store the seed in the attic. This seed is the body of a sacrificed woman. On this occasion, the myth of the origin of rice is recited all night long, while dancing in front of the koké temple, between the Maran clan house and the temple. See video, see publications.
