Birthdays and Harvest Festivals



this is a very late post on kaamatan.
but i was surfing accent videos online and found this.
its actually is a nice song which describes the festival.

kaamatan is a harvest festival of the kadasan-dusun tribe of sabah.
each May the tribe celebrate it, each area of sabah a different date,
which makes a month long celebration.
last year, i was able to celebrate it in kota kinabalu
may 30, my birthday, and the entire KK also clebrates with me.
that makes it memorable.

if you get to be in Sabah this year, join in the fun.
the music, food and rice wines...
may 30 will always be a festival for them.
to me it's also celebrating and toasting to a generous harvest of life.
