    Katreji as Acculturation Between Indonesia and Portuguese


    A. Katreji Dance
    Maluku and Portuguese have a fairly close relationship. Although the nation came to
    Indonesia to look for spices hundreds of years ago. The arrival of the Portuguese to
    Maluku did not only take spices. But they also brought their own culture to this land,
    resulting in cultural acculturation that has remained alive today. Katreji is an
    Indonesian dance that has been acculturated with Portuguese culture. The word
    ‘Katereji’ is delivered from French word ‘quadrille’ (a French dance). Katreji comes
    from Maluku. This dance is usually performed in pairs between male and female
    dancers. Katreji dance is one of the most famous traditional dances in Maluku. This
    dance is often performed at various traditional and entertainment events such as the
    reception of important guests, traditional weddings, holidays, and others. This dance
    is interpreted as a social dance of the community, especially young people. In this
    dance they dance in pairs with movements and expressions that describe joy and
    happiness.

    Katreji dance is performed by male dancers and female dancers in pairs. The number
    of Katreji dancers usually consists of 4-6 pairs of male and female dancers. In the
    performance, dancers wore traditional clothing and dance with their unique
    movements to follow the accompaniment of music. The movement in Katreji dance is
    very energetic and varied. Although the movements tend to be European-style, there
    are still some Maluku-style movements that are still visible. This may be due to the
    acculturation of very different cultures so that to combine the two cultures is too
    difficult.

    The costumes used in the Katreji dance performances are Maluku traditional clothes.
    For female dancers they usually use “kebaya” clothing and long cloth at the bottom.
    While on the head, the dancer's hair "dikonde" and decorated with flower decorations
    as a sweetener. Whereas male dancers usually wear long clothes and long pants.
    Katreji dance is usually accompanied by music such as violin, bamboo flute, ukulele,
    drums, karakas, and others. In addition to movement, the music played also tends to
    be European-style and to complement, also added some traditional musical
    instruments in it. The rhythm that is played in accompanying the Katreji dance is a
    fast rhythm that illustrates the fun in it.

    B. Corridinho Dance
    o The Corridinho is a folk dance internationally well known from Portugal which
    symbolized unity through physical and emotional connection. This dance originates
    from the Algarve region. The Algarve region is Portugal's Southernmost area, known
    for its Mediterranean like weather. This area thrives with culture and is known for its
    exotic dancing. The origin of Corridinho dance itself is unclear and believed older,
    although it gained popularity in the 1800’s. The name Corridinho derives from the
    verb correr (to run) which partly describes this type of dance. This dance was
    performed in a round (dança de roda) in the open air. The oldest musical instruments
    recorded were small flutes or fifes (pífaro) and harmonicas, (harmónica) until the
    accordion was implemented and dominated ever since. Corridinho has left a legacy
    and is still popular in some
    former Portuguese colonies
    like Goa, Daman and Diu,
    Dadra and Nagar Haveli,
    Mangalore in India and a
    small part of Ceylon (Sri
    Lanka) where it is called
    Baila. Corridinho dance in
    Goa is considered a beautiful
    example of Portuguese cultural influence This dance is used mostly in celebratory,
    festivals and ceremonies. The Portuguese like to use this type of dancing to show the
    emotions of the events around them. Corridinho is performed by male dancers and
    female dancers in pairs. The numbers of dancers usually consist of 6 couples and is
    known for its exquisite and rhythmic footwork. Although there isn’t a specific
    Corridinho dress code. Women usually wear long skirt or dresses, whereas men are
    mostly in suit with a hat. When the Corridinho is demonstrated in regional festivals,
    dancers normally wear traditional costume.
