September Heights- Day 28, P#187- Waltz
To the dance lovers
Dancing the Waltz is sheer fun
I love Zapin more
With Grace and beauty
Reflects the lively culture
Which resides in me
Zapin is not easy
Just like Waltz, one must practice
The thrill is many
I simply enjoy the Zapin steps and the music that goes with it,especially if the composer is Pak Ngah, who is the arranger of Siti Nurhaliza's traditional Malay numbers.
It is a small village in the kecamatan of Tambusai, Kabupaten Rokan Hulu in the Province of Riau, Sumatra. During the Padri Wars of 1830's , Tuanku Tambusai (aka known as Fakeh Hj Muhammad Salleh ) fought the Dutch forces together with Imam Bonjol and Tuanku Rao in West Sumatra and in Northern Sumatra .The last defence was in Benteng 7 Lapis,Daludalu which fell in 1838. He escaped capture and came to Malaya. He was buried in Rasah in 1882.

Dear Hal,
I like the zapin too. There is a certain rentak and you raise one foot and continue again. That's right!
