KULINTANGAN KUALA PENYU

Shalom,,today I will share about kulintangan Kuala Penyu.  Kulintangan is a traditional music of Sabah.  Kulintangan is introduced into west Sabah by the Bruneis  but it also traditionally used by the Bajaus and some Dusun/Kadazan people.  Kulintangan Kuala Penyu is unique and it have is own style.  Mostly, kulintangan usually played on festive occasions, such as weddings and religious ceremonies, where it is often accompanied by other traditional gongs.  The instrument consists of a set of about eight to nine small brass kettle gongs.  Each sounds a different pitch when struck.  The gongs are arranged horizontally in a row on a low wooden bed-like frame.  The player sits down on the floor in front of the gongs and beats them with two small wooden mallets.  Kulintangan Kuala Penyu as divide by two that is kulintangan Bajaus and kulintangan Dusun.  Kulintangan Dusun as divide by 3 instruments that is anak kuda, meginum and surasak.  Better I stop here and I hope all of you will enjoy it.  See you next title in my blog.  bye,,,
