Daftar Isi:
  • Basically, Dayak tribe in Kalimantan has some mutual music type, specifically ensemble gong, tube zither, jews harp, mouth organ, four-hole bamboo flute and some kind of ritual chant. Nevertheless, if we studied it deeper, there are things differentiate those two large cultural clumps, the Apu Kayan and the Ngaju music. That is pointed out with the existence of two plucked lute music instrument which is known as sapek (Apu Kayan) and kecapi (Ngaju). It seems that the Apu Kayan music cluster is more widely developed in the areas of North Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, West Kalimantan and Serawak Malaysia. How it is different with Ngaju music cluster which only develops in the Central Kalimantan. The difference between those two music cultures is not only between the shape of the instrument and the playing technique, but the differences in the pentatonic (Apu Kayan) and pentatonic (Ngaju) minor scale seem to give me more confidence to suggest a tentative conclusion that the music of Apu Kayan and Ngaju are two distinct cultural clans that make the identity of the community.
