WEK JONGAN DANCE

The wek jonggan song and dance originated from the life story of a Salako ethnic family who once lived in the interior region. The family consisted of three members: the father named Ambujakng, the mother named wek jonggan, and their child named Si Aching. They were farmers who worked on cultivating paddy fields.The story begins with a tragedy when the father passed away, followed shortly after by the death of the mother. Si Aching was left alone as an orphan. In his sorrow and grief, Si Aching frequently visited his parents’ graves. At the gravesite, he would express his feelings of sadness and loneliness while continuing his work as a paddy farmer. His struggles, hardships, and emotions were poured out in heartfelt words at his parents' graves.The emotional words and the steps of Si Aching as he circled his parents' graves were later transformed into the lyrics of the wek jonggan song, while the dance movements performed by Si Aching’s friends were intended to comfort him in facing his sorrow and grief. Over time, in keeping with the changing era, the wek jonggan song and dance were adapted into a cultural performance of the Salako ethnic group, primarily for entertainment during rice-related festivities or for welcoming guests at special ceremonies as a symbol of joy. To this day, the Salako people continue to preserve the wek jonggan dance, incorporating movements that reflect the rice planting process as a representation of their ancestral culture and traditions. ...

ADAT RESAM DAN BUDAYA KAUM BIDAYUH: ADAT PINGIRIH

The pingirih tradition is a custom practiced within the multicultural society of Sarawak. This tradition embodies the unique values of mutual cooperation and assistance within the daily activities of the Bidayuh community in the state. The pingirih custom is typically observed in activities related to house construction and agricultural work involving the cultivation of paddy, pepper, cocoa, and rubber, which are the main commodities of the Bidayuh community. In other words, the pingirih tradition not only eases tasks but also helps lighten the workload and saves time in completing the work that the host is undertaking. Like the tradition of gotong-royong, pingirih activities are carried out collectively without any payment or wages. PINGIRIH CONCEPT When a family wishes to toban pingirih, meaning to host a pingirih, a notification and request are communicated to community members regarding the date, time, location, and type of work to be carried out. Typically, community members are always prepared in terms of time and resources for this purpose. On the specified date and time, the relevant community members will odi ngiri or come to contribute their skills and energy to complete the tasks and activities outlined by the pingirih organizer.In certain circumstances, some community members who join the pingirih are those who have previously hosted a pingirih. They attend as an act of reciprocating the pingirih, known as odi rapas pingirih. Participation in a pingirih is measured by the number of days a person contributes their labor. In certain cases, community members involved in the pingirih may request specific compensation from the organizer for their participation. Upon request, pingirih participants may be compensated with basic kitchen essentials such as rice, salt, and belacan (shrimp paste). In such situations, the agreement to provide compensation can be particularly helpful to community members facing challenges in securing basic food supplies. Additionally, pingirih participants are typically family members and friends willing to support the organizer. If compensation cannot be provided immediately, the assistance given is regarded and remembered as a sincere act of kindness. A hosted pingirih is not confined to a specific geographical area. It often involves nearly the entire village and sometimes neighboring villages as well. Thus, villagers consistently engage in pingirih-birumiek, or mutual assistance through pingirih. An example is pingirih ngutuom, a pingirih for rice harvesting, carried out in hopes of a bountiful harvest and to strengthen the sense of belonging within the community. Essentially, reciprocating a pingirih (rapas pingirih) does not necessarily occur simultaneously with the activities of odi ngirih. Instead, it depends on the timing and needs of the reciprocation. Therefore, a pingirih organizer may request the assistance of others due to their specialized skills. In other words, a person’s involvement may be required due to their expertise in a particular task.<div> </div> ...

TARIAN BHARATANATYAM (PULAU PINANG)

Tarian Bharatanatyam is a distinguished Tamil traditional dance that originates in Tamil Nadu, India. Meanwhile, the term ‘bharatanatyam’ is a combination of four syllables: ‘bha’ (bhava for expression), ‘ra’ (raga, music), ‘ta’ (tala, rhythm) and ‘natyam’ (dramatic dance art), created by an Indian dance teacher, E. Krishna Iyer, in the mid-1930s.  And it was improved by another dance teacher, Rukminidevi Arundale. Their dance techniques adhere to those mentioned in the text of Natyashastra, the official manual of traditional arts (drama, dance and music) in India, written by Bharata Muni about 2500 years ago.  Historically, bharatanatyam was danced only by temples girls, the devadasi. These girls’ vow was to abstain from marriage for the rest of their lives, and they danced the bharatanatyam in the temple to show their devotion to God.<div> </div> ...

KOMPANG (PULAU PINANG)

The kompang is one of the most basic and popular traditional Malay percussion instruments. It is typically played or struck in groups. This musical instrument is believed to be an assimilation of culture brought into the Malay world by the Arabs and Persians in the 15th century during the Melaka Sultanate. The kompang or percussion is played to accompany the gambus. Uniquely, this instrument reflects the culture of the Muslim community, as it is widely known from the Middle East to the entire Malay archipelago.<div> </div><div>Originally, Arab and Persian traders who waited for the monsoon winds settled in Melaka and played musical instruments such as the rebana and other percussion instruments to pass the time and engage in religious songs, praising the greatness of God. Later, as the Malay community assimilated with the Arab and Persian cultures, the kompang (which resembles the rebana) was created. Local craftsmen, skilled in making kompang, used animal hides to ensure that the surface was hard when struck. The drumhead (the front of the kompang) is made from goat skin, which is attached to the body of the drum (the frame) with a rattan cord, securing the skin and the wooden frame, and nails are used to ensure tightness. This method also ensures that the sound of the kompang is louder when the surface is tight. Unlike today, the sound of most kompang is no longer as strong because plastic has replaced animal skin. Additionally, the sound is different, as plastic and animal skins naturally produce different tones.</div><div> </div><div> </div> ...

TARIAN MONGIGOL SUMUNDAI

The Mongigol Sumundai dance is a traditional dance rich in cultural elements and symbolism for the Rungus ethnic community who mostly live in the northern region of Sabah, especially in the Kudat district and the small Matunggong district. The Mongigol dance is a specific dance move for male dancers, while the Sumundai dance is specifically danced by female dancers. However, these two dances are performed simultaneously, where a male dancer will lead the dance and be followed by four or more female dancers. In general, this dance can be categorized as an imitation dance because it imitates the movement of objects that are closely related to the life of the Rungus ethnic community in the past (Pangayan, 2020).  Nowadays, the Mongigol Sumundai dance is often performed in various festive events, especially during the Kaamatan Festival, the Magahau Festival or ritual ceremonies as a sign of gratitude for agricultural produce. ...
