Introduction and history
Langi Pinyambut is a traditional dance passed down through generations by the ancestors of the Bidayuh community in Sarawak. This dance is typically performed during the harvest season. In fact, this traditional dance is a mandatory performance during the Gawai Dayak Festival to celebrate the harvest of rice crops. The dance holds a very special and specific purpose as to honour the rice harvest brought in from the fields that have been cultivated over time. At the same time, the dance serves as an expression of gratitude and a prayer to God, with the hope that the rice yield will be sufficient to sustain the community throughout the year.
This dance is also frequently performed as a celebratory dance, particularly to welcome special guests, and serves as the opening performance for ceremonies and official events, especially during the Gawai Dayak Festival. The dancers’ movements are exceptionally graceful, and typically, there is no fixed number of performers for this dance.
