The Indonesian Song Tolu Sahundulan


While I was looking for Taiwanese tribal dances and Filipino tribal dances--I got this in my recommendations. I hardly knew anything about Indonesia then I got introduced to this cool old song. There are words similar to that found in Mindanao. After all, the language here is the Sinama language. Once again, I'm convinced that Dayang Dayang's origins will be much harder to find. I wrote about the curious case of Dayang Dayang.

If I'm not wrong, the popularized version of Dayang Dayang is written in the Sinama language. Some people from the Bangsamoro claim that the song is theirs. Others claim that it's from Indonesia or Malaysia. Since I'm no linguist, I really can't really figure things out. The traditional outfits of Indonesia and Malaysia really match that of the Muslim regions of the Philippines. 

It's not surprising that Tealive has opened in Indonesia as well. Culturally, Indonesia and Malaysia are very alike aside from being Muslim countries. Hopefully, Tealive will look at the Bangsamoro region next (read here).
