JAKARTA - Commissioner from the United States, Jeremy Zucker said that kecak was his inspiration when working on the soundtrack for Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Meanwhile, kecak is an acapela (sing without musical instruments) of Balinese tradition that is displayed with dance.

The soundtrack in question is music played at the end of the film, when the final credit is displayed. This music has been used since Avatar's animated version to live action.

Kredit was finally inspired by the monkey channel Indonesia (kecak). There was such a cak Cak Cak Cak. Then it was coated and adjusted again. Something crazy you can make out of it. (I) was completely inspired by it," said Jeremy Zucker, launching the Youtube channel Avatar The Last Airbender.

In the soundtrack, it is clear that kecak is an inspiration. Starting from the beginning of the song with two singing patterns that are played interlocking and accompanied by percussion.

Then, a new pattern is sung to accompany the melody of the aeropone instrument. Towards the end of the song the two initial patterns were sung again.

For information, kecak, which is then better known to the Indonesian people as a kecak dance, is one of the most popular shows for tourists visiting Bali.

In practice, the pattern in the kekak is more varied when compared to the Avatar: The Last Airbender soundtrack. In addition, the patterns played are also very dynamic.
