Beats of Selangorย ๐ย ~ Malay
During her recent glamping ๐ stay @ Dusun Bonda, Batang Kali of Selangor state, West Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ , she ๐ฉ๐ป has a chance to learn more details about the Malay traditional music & beats as below,
Malaysian Caklempong
It’s a traditional music ๐ต๐ถ of theย Minangkabauย people ofย West Sumatra,ย Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ however was brought toย Negeri Sembilan,ย West Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ in the 14th century by theย Minangkabau people
Aย small-size gong made of bronze ย that produces melodious sounds &ย often used to play a wide variety of both traditional & modern music ๐ต ๐ถ Other instruments e.g. bamboo flute, “Saluang“, Malay tambourine &ย gong are played together with Caklempong for various dance/ performance e.g. Pencak Silat,ย Candle Dance, Wayang Kulit etc.
Keroncong band performance
It’s actually the name of aย ukulele-like instrument & anย Indonesianย musical style which typically makes use of the keroncong (i.e. The soundย chrong-chrong-chrongย comes from this instrument). So, the bandย consists of aย flute, a violin ๐ป , a melody guitar ๐ธ , a cello, string bass in pizzicato style & with either a female / a male singer ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ค๐จ๐ฝโ๐ค
She ๐ฉ๐ป has learnt that 1๏ธโฃ ukulele named “cak”, a steel-stringed. The instrumentalist strums chords with up to 8๏ธโฃ strums per beat in 4/4 rhythm. The off-beat strums are often accentuated. The other ukulele named “cuk” is slightly larger & has nylon strings. As a set, both the “cak” & “cuk” form an interlocking pair that mostly gives Kroncong its characteristic kron & chong ๐
Tor Tor Dance & Gordang Sembilan
Tor Tor dance & 9๏ธโฃ great drumbeats/ percussion (Gordang Sembilan in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ‘s national language)ย are theย cultural heritage of Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ‘s Mandailing community, which originally came from Mandailing, North Sumatera of Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ
It’s a slow motion dance with the movement of the feet / toe to toe ๐ฃ & hand ๐ค๐ป movements with a music ๐ต๐ถ rhythm played with the traditional music instruments e.g. Gondang, Flute, Trumpet ๐บ etc. At present, Tor tor dance is to celebrating harvesting, welcoming guests, wedding ๐คต๐พ๐ฐ๐ฝ ceremonies. No โ longer associated with the religious / mystical ceremonies in the past years
It was 1๏ธโฃst introduced in the early 20th century when Javanese immigrants ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ซ, who brought this unique dance & 1๏ธโฃst arrived in the southern tip ofย West Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ It’s usually performed by 9 to 15 pax, usually all men dancers traditional Javanese clothes
In the past years, Kuda Kepang is believed to have a strong linkage to the spirit world, however at present it becomes a regular dance performance for the birthday ๐ of the Sultan of Johor, state government celebrations & cultural shows in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ
It’s a traditional Javanese braided hobbyhorse dance & in the dance performance, all the dancers will ride the 2๏ธโฃD mock horse which is traditionally made of bamboo ๐๐, then painted & decorated with colorful paints and cloth to resemble a horse ๐ ๐ด Some of the dance movements in the Kuda Kepang rituals are based on traditional Malay silat
