Kerasukan – a musical journey in Sulawesi 

‘Kerasukan’ literally translates as ‘being possessed’, but in Sulawesi, it also describes the energy a musician needs to perform his instrument.

Ethnomusicologist Ingo Stoevesandt takes us on his field research trip throughout Sulawesi:

We celebrate a funeral with the famous Toraja in the highlands, listen to sacred flutes in a healing ceremony in Palu, record forbidden music in a magic forest with the Kajang poeple, but most of all meet wonderful musicians and their ensembles, read about their passion for the traditional music and about their unique and outstanding musical instruments.
