Cakalele dance (pronounced "cha-ka-leh-leh", spelled tjakalele by the Dutch) is a war dance from North and Central Maluku in Indonesia. Hybrid versions also exist among the natives of Sulawesi, Timor, and the Tanimbar Islands. The dance is performed by men, two of whom represent opposing captains or leaders while the others are the warriors supporting them. After an opening ritual, the captains engage in a mock-duel with a spear (sanokat) and long knife (lopu) while their supporters use a long knife in the right hand and a narrow wooden shield in the left hand. The shield is referred to as a salawaku, or by a local name such as the Tobelo o dadatoko. The cakalele originated as a way for the warriors to celebrate after a successful raid. Dancers dress in full warrior costume and are backed

- Cakalele adalah tarian perang tradisional Maluku yang digunakan untuk menyambut tamu ataupun dalam perayaan adat. Biasanya, tarian ini dibawakan oleh 30 pria dan wanita. Tarian ini dilakukan secara berpasangan dengan iringan musik drum, flute, bia (sejenis musik tiup). Para penari pria biasanya mengenakan parang dan salawaku (perisai) sedangkan penari wanita menggunakan lenso (saputangan). Penari pria mengenakan kostum yang didominasi warna merah dan kuning, serta memakai penutup kepala aluminum yang disisipi dengan bulu putih. Kostum celana merah pada penari pria melambangkan kepahlawanan, keberanian, dan patriotisme rakyat Maluku. Pedang atau parang pada tangan kanan penari melambangkan martabat penduduk Maluku yang harus dijaga sampai mati, sedangkan perisai dan teriakan keras para penari melambangkan gerakan protes melawan sistem pemerintahan yang dianggap tidak memihak pada rakyat. Sumber lain menyatakan bahwa tarian ini merupakan penghormatan atas nenek moyang bangsa Maluku yang merupakan pelaut. Sebelum mengarungi lautan, nenek moyang mereka mengadakan pesta dengan makan, minum, dan berdansa. Saat Tari Cakalele ditampilkan, terkadang arwah nenek moyang dapat memasuki penari dan kehadiran arwah tersebut dapat dirasakan oleh penduduk asli. (in)
