[A glimpse into the lifeways of the indigenous people (Orang Asli) of Perak] In the traditional ceremonies and festivals of the Semai Orang Asli, a spiritual guide called the halak, somewhat like a shaman, leads rituals to thank the gods. Imagine bamboo instruments playing, leaf-made decorations, and everyone coming together for singing and dancing, while women prepare delicious food for all to enjoy. Unfortunately, these beautiful traditions are slowly fading away due to problems like how land is managed, changes in beliefs, a weakening sense of Orang Asli identity, and various other challenges. Despite these changes, the present-day Semai people are determined to preserve their cultural heritage. They've shifted away from some traditional beliefs but still use songs and music to express gratitude for the gifts they receive from nature.
[原住民,该是什么样子] 在闪迈族(Semai) [其它译名:色迈族,森脉族] 的传统节日和庆典上,祭师会进行宗教仪式答谢神恩,大家用竹子制作成乐器演奏音乐,用椰叶编制穿戴在身上的装饰,载歌载舞,村里的妇女还准备了美味佳肴款待在场的所有人。 可是,如今这传统却因土地管理,宗教信仰,原住民身份等不同因素而渐渐简化.... 一窥如今在没有宗教仪式支撑的情况下,也要捍卫艺术传承的节日,用传统乐器和舞蹈,感谢大自然给予的丰盛。
