This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Kasenian réak is a genre of performative art from the Priangan area of west Java, organized during hajatans (life-cycle celebrations) and nowadays primarily held during weddings andcircumcisions. The style, known as a seni lungsuran, is part of the greater family of Javanese
horse dances, originally known in their most famous forms of jathilan and kuda lumping. Javanese horse dances, which could be as old as animistic Java, may already have been practiced before the eight century, travelling through the island and reaching Priangan in the thirties, when réak is believed to have been originated and popularised by musical groups Juarta Putra and Maska Putra. While bearing more than some resemblances with its family, kasenian réak benefits of structures and aesthetic tracts of its own, being not only one of the newest developments of horse dance if not the newest, but also its rawest and most extreme outcome.
....
Trance and possession obviously represent two of the main attractions of the style. The music as a sonic signal given by the speeded tempo, along with an adorcistic practice conducted by the ma’alim are capable of inviting spirits to enter bodies and take control of them. When possessed, the individuals can, according to the entity they host, exhibit superhuman capacities that allow them to eat burning charcoal and glass, open coconuts with their bare teeth and break bricks
with their foreheads.
This release aims to provide a spectrum of kasenian réak and its music. For this reason, on the first side it is possible to listen to a classic réak ouverture, played by one of the two founding groups, Juarta Putra. On the other side one may hear Putra Jaya Melati: one of the groups that
most attempts to push towards a contemporary, aggressive and experimental version of réak music, without leaving the cultural and spiritual background of the style behind. In this record, it is even possible to hear an electric guitar, gongs, a kendang and a very open repertoire of songs.

...So - compare & contrast w/ Haitian Vodoun - deriving from West Africa. 'Tell My Horse'...
- & maybe various subcontinent Hindu ceremonies? & the Jajuka things...
Réak looks a bit like my word Rawk for Rock...I'm always thinking about Rawk as an instinctual expression of some Shamanic instinct in 'our world'...
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
Flash Strap:
and yeah this is a definite case study for your theory, this is pure psych "rawk" even while it's many other things besides

Such a loaded poetry of two words.
It's a lot of what I think about in two words in fact...

& the exact location in New Orleans - Congo Square - where 'Our Musics' passed from Sacred to Entertainment...the line from participation to performance
...& everything Artaud was about - & McKenna suggests about Archaic Revival...
