Borneo Cultures : EP 2 - Penampang Sumazau Dance

In this episode of NorthborneoTV, we document the Penampang Sumazau traditional dance of the Kadazan people.
The Kadazans are an ethnic group indigenous to the state of Sabah in Malaysia. They are found mainly in Penampang on the west coast of Sabah, the surrounding locales, and various locations in the interior.
Sumazau is the name of the dance between a male and female, performed by couples as well as groups of couples, which is usually accompanied by a symphony of handcrafted bronze gongs that are individually called tagung. The Sumazau and gong accompaniment is typically performed during joyous ceremonies and occasions, the most common of which being wedding feasts.
Dancers and musicians courtesy of the KDCA Cultural Village.
