Cakalele
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
o dadatako
Cakalele refers to a kind of ceremonial war dance originating from North Halmahera, Indonesia but now found throughout North and Central Maluku. The dance is performed using a narrow, wooden shield, sometimes also referred as a cakalele, though usually known by the North Moluccan Malay term sawako or by a local name, such as Tobelo o dadatoko.
Cakalele is also the name of a now-defunct inter-disciplinary journal of Maluku studies published by the University of Hawai'i Center for Southeast Asian Studies between 1990 and 1999.
