Murut Ivan Polunin - Murut Music Of North Borneo
Review by Katherine Goh
Murut Music of North Borneo by Ivan Polunin is a captivating album that showcases the traditional music of the Murut people of Borneo. The album features a collection of songs that are rich in cultural significance and provide a glimpse into the unique musical heritage of this community.
Polunin's expert curation of the album is evident through the seamless transitions between tracks, which creates a cohesive listening experience. The use of traditional instruments such as the sapeh, gongs, and kulintangan further adds to the authenticity of the music.
The album is a perfect blend of upbeat and mellow tracks, with each song telling a story or conveying a message. The vocals are raw and emotive, with the lyrics often touching on themes of love, nature, and spirituality.
