[00:15:17]>> [music] >> Wow.

[00:15:18]11 artists in the village, but only men would make those paintings.

[00:15:26]Interesting, my ladies.

[00:15:28]The Sasak people carry their culture with quiet pride, [music] and what stands out most is how united the village feels, built on generations of shared values and connection. What a place to be.

[00:15:43]So, as we learn in the village of Sadeu, you cannot marry outside of the village, so it's basically cousin marrying cousin, staying within the village. So, then you have a family of 700 people, easily.

[00:15:59]So, definitely very unique to learn about the culture like this.

[00:16:05]Thank you, Sade, for welcoming us into your homes and lives with a warmth that felt completely genuine.
