About SumazauSumazau is the most popular traditional dance from Sabah. This dance comes from the Kadazan-Dusun ethic group, particularly the Dusun Lotud group from Tuaran district, where it was a traditional dance called Madsayau. Madsayau is part of Mengahau, a special chanting ceremony of the Dusun people. The Mengahau, usually held over 5 days is intended to appease the spirits of the ancient pots called gusi-gusi. It is conducted to honour the departed members of the family, similar to kenduri arwah celebrated by Malays.Nowadays Sumazau is performed for entertainment, and is usually performed during the Kaamatan harvest festival as thanksgiving to the rice spirit for good harvest, and also to ward away evil. The dance is performed by the peasants in their traditional costumes, accompanied by the beating of gongs. Usually six different gongs and one gendang is used to produce the melody. The rhythm and tempo of Sumazau differs from one village to another. |
