ADAI-ADAI DANCE

Initially "adai-adai’ was a song sung as a "pantun" or a quatrain by a group of people. Instead of having an ordinary musical instrument to accompany the song, a natural sound or beat is formed from paddling a boat or stamping the paddle against the side of the boat and striking a "buyong" or "keduit" (a jar made from gourd or clay). This dance belongs to the Brunei tribe in Weston, Sabah.
