Thank you Zeina :slight_smile:

For those others who have read my post, Mi Casa’s song I wanted to share is not Vida Ă© doce but “Bora Viver” instead
 desculpas / sorry.

Hey, I haven’t been able to recognize the third “Bantu?” language even if I hear this tune since a long ago, Any speaker of that language here? Greetings, *your language sounds so good in this song.

I was hoping someone would include the Namika song. It’s one of my favorite songs to listen to in any language as of late.

Hi all, this was just streamed last night, direct from the Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat palace in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This is their periodic palatial performance (known as uyon-uyon), which always features a few instrumental pieces and a major dance piece, this time the Bedhaya Sapta (the Bedhaya court dance with seven dancers). Luckily for anyone who watches this time, the traditional Javanese lyrics (gerongan and sindhenan) have been translated into both English and Indonesian!
