Saman dance world cultural heritage

Saman dance that originated from aceh especially gayo tribe has begun worldwide, this dance is usually presented when the important celebrations in adat also at the birth celebration of the Prophet Muhammad. This dance is discovered and developed by syech saman who is also a Theologian, now saman dance has been established by UNESCO as world cultural heritage. Basically saman dance does not use an additional musical instrument using only the dancer's singing and tap, as for a singer who serves as a director and dance leader called syech, this dance form itself is very attached to ancient Malay and the verse poems containing praise to Gods and messengers as da'wah. At this time there is a shift in practice from the early stages of saman dance itself such as the addition of rapa'i and other musical instruments and dancers who initially emphasized only men so now more and more female dancers dominate, could be this modern saman dance. I linked the saman dance I took from youtube, please enjoy. And thank you for visiting this blog ...
