Sayau Kalambujang dance by Dusun Tatana. [Video] (2024)
Abstract
Sayau Kalambujang is a traditional dance originally performed in rituals (Moginum) by the Dusun Tatana, a subethnic group of the Kadazandusun, the largest indigenous group in Sabah, Malaysia. Now, it is also performed as a cultural show and at social occasions and festivals. The dance is normally led by a male dancer and circled by a group of female dancers (in some cases, these dancers also carry food and drinks). In the middle of the dance, the dancers sit and feast on the food, smoke tobacco, and chew betel nuts. The food served includes traditional dishes of Sabah, such as sago paste, kolupis (made of glutinous rice and coconut milk wrapped in silad leaves), and pinjaram cake.
