Sewang is a traditional dance performed by the aboriginal Orang Asli people of Malaysia.[1] Originally the dance was performed for funeral, for thanksgiving, or to treat the sick or wounded,[2] and now it is also used to entertain foreign travelers.[3] It involves dancing in a circle to music produced from bamboo.[4]
