Ulu ambek song from Pariaman regency

The Luambek is based on the movement repertoire of the silek called art of self defense.
Not just self defense, nor dance, nor play, but a 'Play of Inner Power', the Luambek forms a
category of its own within the rich movement arts traditions of the Minangkabau people. As I will
show, the Luambek serves as a magnificent example of how sound provides an unexpected
structural framework for a movement phenomenon. In this case, this framework is provided by the
singing, called Dampeang, and intersecting choral sound elements, called Sorak(an). Further non
formal sound elements, like the foot stomping on the ground, called lantak bumi, contribute to the
whole of the audible event.

Luambek dimainkan dalam acara batagak Panghulu atau alek Pauleh
Dalam membantu suasana dalam permainan Luambek , maka dihadirkan dendang (nyanyian) yang disebut dengan dampeang jantan dan dampeang batino. Dampeang berfungsi untuk memberikan suasana untuk mengatur tempo, ritme, harmonisasi dari gerak Luambek yang dimainkan. Luambek berarti lalu berarti serang , ambek berarti tangkis/bela. http://www.pandeka.com/
