Скачать или смотреть Traditional Dance (Sayau Woinoi / Tetetek) of Dusun Lobu from Sook

Dusun Lobu is a sub-ethnic group of the Kadazandusun, the largest indigenous community in Sabah, Malaysia. Traditionally, the Dusun Lobu were hill paddy farmers and collectors of forest produce. These dancers hail from Sook, a small district in Keningau, located in Sabah's interior. This dance (Sayau Woinoi or Tetetek) is performed during festivals and celebrations, showcasing four unique aspects of the Dusun Lobu:

1) Their colourful attire is among the most intricate and beautiful examples of Sabah's traditional costume weaving.
2) Their hats are adorned with cowrie seashells.
3) One dancer (featured in this video) wears a white ivory disc made from an elephant tusk. Since elephant hunting is now prohibited, this accessory is an antique passed down from their ancestors.
4) The musical instruments they play include the kettle gong (kulintangan) and the bent plate of a hoe.
