We will present Indonesia regional song from Bali.Balinese songs are sung in Balinese, an Austronesian language from Sundik branch and more specifically, it’s called Bali-Sasak language. This language is commonly used in Bali, the western island of Lombok and slightly on the eastern tip of Java. As the title suggests, this song tells about memory or recollection in Beratan Lake, one of the tourist objects in Bali. It’s a sweet memory when someone first acquainted with someone else. The content of this song is rhythmical and performed well by Widi Widiana. He is one of the male singers from Bali who mostly sings Balinese songs. Lake Beratan is so beautiful.
