In 1972, there was a group of taruna who sang various sanghyang songs. These were usually sung at rituals during the Aci Kapat (the fourth month of the Balinese lunar calendar) but also might be performed at other occasions.
We don’t have access to the original tape recordings, so this recording was digitized from the published vinyl release: Ritual Music from Bali II: Cross-section through the Music of the Annual Cycle in Tatulingga. Produced by Danker H. Schaareman, Barni Palm, and Monika Nadolny, 1986. Musicaphon BM 30 SL 2571.
