Malaysia is home to many ethnic groups, each with its own unique culture and traditions. One of the ways this rich heritage is celebrated here is through traditional performances.

Take Sarawak and Sabah for instance, which are estimated to have over 60 ethnic groups. This translates to the island of Borneo being a melting pot of a variety of colourful cultural songs, dances and costumes.
