Anak Burung Baniong


Originating from Kampung Kuala Jingai in Hulu Dungun Terengganu, this ethnic dance also known as Tarian Saba. The dancers perform around the Saba tree to traditional music and the sound created by a bamboo-like device called 'kumbang'.

This dance was once a ritual dance, however nowadays it is perform just for the sake of the arts and a source of entertainment.

The dance is a combination of three art forms, namely song, music and dance.
Traditional musical instruments such as anak ambang (buluh), anak cerating, rebana (big drum) and seruling (flute) render the music orchestration, whereas the songs are sung in contemporary verses.
