ROGER Wang has already stamped his mark as a renowned acoustic guitarist, but soon he might be known as the person to bring back the sundatang, Sabah’s traditional string instrument, into the limelight.

The 49-year-old composer and music producer is using the instrument to compose the soundtrack for an upcoming local animated film, where the main character happens to be a sundatang player.
