Field recording of a “Kabar” (vocals accompanied by rhythmic) on Reunion Island. In these Holy ceremonies, some of these services have the function to honor an ancestor. The song is diffused by a speaker covered with a taro leaf, also known as “dream”. The dream leaf has the distinction of being completely waterproof, hence the Reunionese expression, “let it flow over your heart like on a dream leaf”. Sound vibrations and climatic conditions vibrate the leaf of the plant, and animate a drop of water therein above.
