The semende plate dance from Kaur Tribe, South West Sumatra

Tari (Piring) Dewa Sembilan
Kaur (Semende) Culture

There are a small village name Muara Sahung, at Bintuhan as capital city of Kaur Regency, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia.

Muara sahung majority have as Kaur Culture and Semende as subtribe in this area. The location in southwest sumatra coastal where the border line Lampung province and Bengkulu province. Of course this area far away from big city, so thats why their culture be uncommon in public. That the challenge!

Due rare documentation about this culture, I decide to publish this photo event the custom dress possibly anappropriate with Kaur Custom Origin becaude if make the good one will be need to much fee.

That very important thing, how to introduce semende plate dance to public, right?

See the ten plate at the floor and the shoulder cloth as a base.
