THE BEST MALAYSIAN FOLK DANCE LIFE PERFORMANCE EVER! (1)
The dance is called Zapin Tenglu, one of the many types of zapin dances in Malaysia. This type of zapin dance is originated from the state of Johor and among the most popular Malay folk dance in Malaysia. The dancers in this performance are those professional zapin dancers from Johor's Heritage Foundation funded by the State of Johor Government (Yayasan Warisan Johor), needless to say one of the best professional folk dancers group in the country and the Asean region! Zapin or zafin was introduced to Malay archipelagos hundred of years ago by Arab traders who came here to trade and at the same time expand the teachings of Islam. After sometimes, the dance revolved to inculcate the values and tradition of the local Malay people until it wholly become unique in its own local way but still maintaining some important features of original Arabic zapin dance like the musical instruments used (gambus / oud, traditional drums etc.), the Middle East melody in its song and the identical 8-counting-basic-movements in its dance steps! Apart from the Malaysia's state where the zapin is danced by its people like Johor, Kedah, Terengganu, Kelantan, Sarawak and Sabah, zapin is also danced by the people in its neighboring country like Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei.

Zapin Datok Temenggong Oleh Datuk M. Daud Kilau
Zapin is a classical Malay dance rhythm that is widely popular in the state of Johor Darul Ta' Azim, Malaysia. It is believed to have been brought here by the Arab traders in the fourteenth century and over the years, Zapin has been given its own forms and substance by the locals into what it presently is today. It used to be performed exclusively for religious ceremonies but through the years it has become a form of traditional entertainment widely available at weddings, state cultural functions and several other venues. This particular Zapin beat was sung by Datuk M. Daud Kilau, one of Malaysia's evergreen entertainer.
Arabic Zapin Gambus Music and Dance
Video taken by John Hussain Barnett. Zapin band group members are friends of Jaafar Abdullah Bajrai from Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia and Indonesia. I was deeply touched to see my beloved father, Retas Jaafar Bajrai, dancing the Zapin before my eyes. Actually, earlier that morning, I had whispered to him how I wished to see him perform the Zapin dance, but knowing that he would be busy entertaining guests, I had almost given up on that, when to my amazement, he fulfilled my wish after our wedding reception. He was very fit and healthy then, yet was decreed to peacefully return to His Lord just 2 years later. This unplanned Zapin dance was indeed one of my late father's greatest gifts to me, Alhamdulillah - All Praises be to Allah!
