On 19 May 2010, while attending the symposium 'Musical Encounters between Indonesia and the Netherlands' at the Museum voor Volkenkunde (Ethnological Museum) in Leiden, the Netherlands, I was invited to join a musical performance which aimed to show the living tradition of performing traditional songs by Moluccans in the Netherlands.
This video shows an unrehearsed version of a famous Moluccan song, Beta Belayar Jauh (I Am Sailing Far Away).
