2010 east timorese dancers timorese dancer playing the babadok timor leste s music reflects its history under the control of both portugal and indonesia who have imported music like gamelan and fado the most widespread form of native folk music was the likurai dance performed by women to welcome home men after war they used a small drum and sometimes carried enemy heads in processions through villages a modern version of the dance is used by women in courtship in the modern era east timorese music has been closely associated with the independence movement for example the band dili allstars released a song that became an anthem in the build up to the referendum on independence in 2000 while the united nations commissioned a song called hakotu ba by lahane to encourage people to register to vote in the referendum citation needed east timorese popular musicians include teo batiste ximenes who grew up in australia and uses folk rhythms from his homeland in his music with many east timorese people in emigrant communities in australia portugal and elsewhere east timorese folk music has been brought to many places around the world refugee camps in portugal mixed together east
