Batti'-batti' is a traditional music
Batti'-batti' is a traditional music style from the island of Selayar off the south coast of Sulawesi. A pair of male and female vocalists trade improvised poetic verse in a kind of dramatized lover's quarrel, all carried by the rhythms of a rebana frame drum and two flamboyantly-played gambus lutes.
Three of the four musicians - Diana, Sapri, and Antho - joined Aural Archipelago for the Europalia International Arts Festival in Belgium last year, the first time batti'-batti' had been brought abroad. I returned to visit them this year and record them playing in their element. The occasion here is a sunatan or circumicision ceremony - the freshly snipped kid, seen smiling at the end in a white sarong, luckily seemed to have a good time :)
Hear and learn more about this amazing music (and the beautiful people who make it) at the new AA post, a batti'-batti' retrospective: http://www.auralarchipelago.com/aural...
Special thanks to Diana, Sapri, Antho, and Wawan (the extra gambus shredder) for sharing their island and music with me, and to my wife Sinta, who helped translate the inscrutably poetic lyrics.
