The world’s only karaoke / music video containing actual footage of dead persons

You’ve got to give it to the Timorese (Indonesian people of the Eastern Flores Islands).

They sing songs that are closest to their lives, even painful experiences.

For example, the song “Tragedi Wai Boleng” by Timorese pop star Johan Lama Kuma is about a real-life tragedy, where not one but five people drowned at sea.

Amazingly, they used the actual footage of bodies being carried from the sea and laid on the ground while a big crowd gathered round, as video background.

Can you imagine this being played loudly and sung at a nightspot by drunken revellers, with the video being projected on a big screen???
