Citra Wistara Cakepung troupe was established in Buda Keling, Karangasem Regency in 1922 by the late Ida Wayan Oka Targi. Cakepung is a folk performance that is performed in relation with birth, wedding, cremation and fulfilling the vow ceremony. This folk-performance derives its name onomatopoeically from the sound of its accompaniment, a rhythmic vocal sound similar to that produced by the cak chorus. In the accompaniment, two dozen vocalists chant ‘pung-cakapung’ in unison. The songs of cakepung are derived from macapat song combines with pesantian elements.
