The musician performing at Konsert Sape Movement 2022. — MOHD NIZAM
As a Kenyah growing up in the small town of Marudi in Sarawak, Garry Sudom Raymond had a complicated relationship with the sape. During family gatherings, particularly at Christmas, the captivating melodies of the sape would fill the air. It was customary for everyone to participate in Kanjet, the traditional solo dance of the Orang Ulu.
And Garry’s granduncle, an enthusiastic dancer, was most determined that everyone should join in.
