the monkey chant as along the same traditions of of some hindu and south 
east
asian works such as "Ramakien" or ramayana and many others.
one of the primary differences is in balinese presentation... wild!
this types of works are stories told-myths- creation of the world or the 
like
and are basically improvised with fantastic amounts of drama and 
enthusiasm.
I've seen the monkey chant done in what amounts to three rounds or 
something
with a lead story teller.

ever heard of hanuman the white monkey?
