Happy Harvest Festival To All Sabahans

“Kotobian tadau tagazo do Kaamatan kumaa saavi-avi paganakan om tambahut ku doid nombo kou nopo doiti id pomogunan diti.” (A wish in Kadazan language.)

Happy Harvest Festival to all my family and friends whereever you are in this world.

Below are some of the youtube video clips I’ve found to share with you all, about my background as a Kadazan. May is the month for the Kadazan-Dusun-Murut of Sabah and the grand finale will be held on the 30th and 31st of May in Sabah, Malaysia which we can see our new “Unduk Ngadau” (Harvest Queen).

Enjoy the video clips. Thank you to all the people who have downloaded the clips so we, from far away, can enjoy the feast back home. “Jauh di mata, dekat di hati.” Far from the eyes, near at heart.

I have chosen the clips below because they bring back the memories when I was still back home.

The first clips are with the sompoton. Sompoton is a traditional musical instrument from Sabah along with Gong and Kulintangan which is a trademark for Sabahan people and culture. Let’s dance the SUMAZAU.
