MUZIK DABUS
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">Dabus dance is a traditional dance art full of cultural and historical elements. Although its origins cannot be ascertained precisely, it is believed to have existed since the reign of Caliph Zainal Abidin and is considered entertainment among the Muslim community. This dance was developed as a reaction to conflicts between certain clans, with the aim of scaring the enemy.
