Jangkang Dance ( From Pelilit, Nusa Penida)

Well, now I will share information about religious dancing of Hinduism which originally from Nusa Penida (Pelilit village, near Atuh Beach). This dancing just use a simple instruments we call it 'Baleganjur cenik' ( a little instruments of Gong). However, the sounds that sounding is big. The members of this dancing is nine persons. they hold spear that picturing their spirit to have fighting to the devils ( a bad things).
What Jangkang Dance is???Jangkang dance is as a symbol of the people to follow their nature melody. This dancing showing a mystic.  At the first time, it is based on the story of Jero Wayan Kulit in the past. He was a servant in Klungkung Palace as a pig keeper.  He put the pig food in the container that was made from bronze. He hit the container when he called the pigs to had eat. Surprised, the sound was good and big. So, he decided to brought that bronze to his hometown, Pelilit. But, he was unlucky. No man in his hometown accepted his coming. They chased him away from his hometown himself. Until one day, Pelilit village was attacked by the outsider from outsiders. Many people in Pelilit were died. Jero Wayan Kulit heard that information. He came to Pelilit and brought the bronze. When he arrived in his village, he saw only few people could stand. He was angry and hit the bronze for several times. Suddenly, the crab grass around him was woke up and transformed to the spears transformations. And that spears were killed the attackers of his village. The villagers were happy and said their thanks to Jero Wayan Kulit. For, their appreciation, the villagers made a dancing that symbolizing their appreciation to Jero Wayan Kulit.  The name of that dancing is Jangkang dance (symbol of the crab grass they use spears).

After that tragedy,  the attack was come again. But, it was from the devils which had a strength to kill people by used their magic. Many people were dying. Only few people could stay. For the last hope, they were pray to the god and the god gave them blessing and asked them to danced Jangkang dance again to blocked the nine wind directions which used by the devils to spread out the sickness. And also, in this dancing, they always have a screaming that refers to their grateful to the god and also as their spirit against the devils/bad things for the next future.
