Anggalang & Magunatip - The Murut Dance

Written By Sabah Tourism on Monday, Jun 09, 2014 | 11:22 PM

 
Anggalang & Magunatip are dances of the Murut. In the old days, Anggalang was performed in celebration of a successful battle or to welcome a successful headhunting party. Nowadays it is performed during weddings and other such occasions. Magunatip, which is Sabah's famous bamboo dance, is derived from the word atip meaning 'to press between two surfaces'. The Murut have great skill and agility to dance among the bamboo poles which are hit together at an extremely fast pace, to produce the rhythm of the dance.
