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]
