Dusun songs won RM100,000 top prize

I've got to make space for this one in this blog. But why? Is it extraordinarily special? Probably.

The sheer amount of money involved in a relatively small competition caught my attention. Even the bigger reality television show such Akademi Fantasia and the government sponsored Bintang RTM would not offer similar amount of cash prizes.

Kudos to the organizers of this KDM Malaysia Idol, a small reality TV show in Sabah featuring talents from the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut communities.

Ginawo Nosindualan

This is an un-released version of a song composed by a friend of mine, Martin. It is a Dusun number, expected to be released in May 2011 to coincide with the Harvest Festival or Kaamatan.

A teacher by profession, he is an avid musician and very good with his acoustic guitar. I play guitar quite well too but maybe not up to his par, hehe.

Inquiries can be channeled to him here.

Happy Listening!



Song title(Sinding) : Ginawo Nosindualan
Singer (Susuminding) : Elsie James
Composer (Minodsupu) : Martin Gindou
Expected date of release : May 2011
Currently playing & topping : Sabah Vfm, Bontugan Sinding Dusun


Streaming of music may take sometime as the buffering is quite taxing.

Sayang sekali Sabah Vfm(Dusun) tidak memaparkan kedudukan semasa carta lagu mingguan, tidak seperti Sabah Vfm(Cina). Diharap pihak berkenaan mengambil tindakan segera.

Tambalut ku Martin, sila update sekiranya ada perubahan tarikh atau aktiviti-aktiviti promosi.
