Comment
Flores island, Kabupaten Flores Timur, Kecamatan TANJUNG BUNGA, desa Waiklibang (Keywords): agrarian rite - polyphony - drone opak (narrator): Ema Kesi and? In the house, all the women (singers dancers) have been covered with old (Indian) fabrics. They sing at dawn, in the house - rice granary. Their body symbolizes the storage of rice [seed rice?], of the woman in the house. The dokan gurun ("save, set aside, wrap") rite 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. Transcriptions of the entire myth and translation into Indonesian.
