I, English Clubbers and our exchange lecturer, Mrs. Patrice have visited Sade Village this year on March. For this session I just want to share what I have seen personally.            Lombok has everything.

Burdah is the singing with the accompaniment of tambourines. Others argue, this dance comes from Turkey and goes with the spread of Islam in Indonesia in the 15th century. That’s why, this da...
