Alok

Alok (Javanese for "shout") is a style of singing used in Javanese gamelan. They are generally performed by the gerong. It consists of short phrases (usually vowels) of indeterminate pitch, inserted especially at certain places in the colotomic structure of the piece.

Senggakan are similarly inserted into pieces, but generally consist of nonsense syllables and are sung in a specific melody. They are often used together with keplok.

Balinese kecak similarly uses nonsense syllables.

Alok also means radiant or "Light" in Sanskrit. It is also represented as "Cry of victory".

Alok is also an Indian first name.
