  Last night I filmed a fantastic “Ramayana” music and dance performance… ritual music of Bali.  The costumes were just excellent.  It reminds me of another stellar performance I recorded called the Kecak (pronounced:  kay - chuck ) Monkey Dance. This is a part of the Ramayana story and tells of the kidnap and eventual rescue of Princess Sita by the monkey general Hanuman.  It is so much fun to watch this kind of performance in Indonesia.  Here is a video clip I found on You Tube: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&fkt=2759&fsdt=4456&q=kecak&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv#hl=en&source=hp&fkt=2759&fsdt=4456&q=kecak&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv&start=50  If you want to bring this into your own home,  Check out my Cd  Kecak: http://sonicsafarimusic.com/music/kecak/

 In my travels around the world I’ve been able to take some fascinating and fun train rides.  I just recently returned from Peru having taken a great train through the Sacred Valley of the Incas along the Urubamba river.  I also have taken trains in India, Mexico, China and other places. Since I usually have my recording gear with me, I enjoy recording the train sounds.  I’m doing a series of soundscape recordings.  One that takes you to Russia is the “Russian Underground” CD (http://sonicsafarimusic.com/music/russianunderground/).  In this CD I recorded things like the underground metro in Moscow and St. Petersburg.  I recorded street musicians and other crazy things like trolly cars, electric trains and even Peter the Greats lathe! Getting back to trains, I put all of those recordings on my CD  “World Trains”.  Put that one and sit back to take a train ride in some exotic location.  Here is the link to hear some of the sounds:  http://sonicsafarimusic.com/music/worldtrains/
