CULTURES
An island of rich Chinese heritage, Penang has an array of temples,
ruins, museums, preserved forests, and beautiful beaches that make a
trip here more than worthwhile. Top it off with the fact that this
island is said to be the country’s unofficial food capital, and its no
wonder that tourism plays a huge role in its economy. From the water’s
edge at the Clan Jetties to the brilliant blue sheen of the Cheong Fatt
Tze Mansion, Penang is fairly impressive.
TRADITIONAL DANCE AND
MUSIC
Boria is a traditional song and dance sketch or dance drama,
found mainly in Penang and originating from
India. It is described as a traditional quatrain song form or pantun
which is performed in a western music style and with dance forms such as
quick-step, rhumba or soul. Although it was probably brought in by Indian
Muslim traders of long ago, it has today come to be identified mainly with
the Penang Malay community .
The violin, maracas and tabla are used to accompany the sing, although the western
pop band may also be used.
