The Sape Master
Seven generations of music are said to be held by a Sape master living in the Bakun Dam resettlement scheme, 180km southeast of Bintulu, Sarawak, East Malaysia. The Sape is one of the more well known traditional instruments of Sarawak, but few remain who can perform the music of former generations and in the style that represents that heritage.
