This song is used as part of the spiritual healing ritual based on the tale of the fisherman who lost his heart to the sea princess. Traditionally this was used for treating what now would be called post traumatic stress disorder; to revive the spirits of someone who has had a traumatic experience.
In other words, traditional Malay medicine use music and song and dance to heal psychological illness. Pretty progressive, don'tcha think?
Enjoy.
