I have recently re-discovered the joy of listening to sape music. The sape is a musical instrument very much like a guitar played by the Ulu tribe of Borneo. It's sound is so unique, so tranquil, so beautiful! I remember listening to it for the first time when I visited Sarawak, and I was completely entranced by it. Brings back many fond memories of my visit to East Malaysia. Will forever treasure that. =)
In the meantime, listen to the awesome music of sape:
