History of <strong>Sumazau</strong><br />
<strong>Sumazau</strong> is a traditional folk dance that is popular<br />
in Sabah and throughout Malaysia. It is a traditional<br />
dance of the Kadazan Dusun. It is often<br />
performed during the havest festival celebration<br />
every May.<br />
<strong>Sumazau</strong> is danced by farmers, both male and<br />
female, who are wearing traditional dress, in<br />
black and red. It is played to the accompaniment<br />
of gongs; usually six gongs of various sizes,<br />
and a drum with a unique rhythm. The duration<br />
and rhythm of <strong>Sumazau</strong> varies by region and<br />
coutry.<br />
This is a dance inspired by eagles flying patterns<br />
witnessed by farmers resting in the fields during<br />
the harvest season. During the dance, each<br />
dancer must make a sequence of moves only a<br />
few centimeters away from each other without<br />
touching.
