These are the Sulawesi highlands, in Indonesia, home of the former head-hunters known as toraja, which means “mountain men”.
In the village of Kete, the funeral of a nobleman celebrated. The deceased Mayanna was a pung, a wealthy local. The burial ceremony will be so sumptuous, though, that his family will be ruined economically. the extravagance of the ceremony will guaranty that the dead man will rejoin his ancestors in paradise. This funeral dance is called Mabadong. The men dance as they hold onto each other’s little fingers, singing together in an intense lamentation.
