Kotobian Do Tadau Kamaatan 2008

Tadau Kaamatan (Harvest Festival) is coming again. This beautiful traditional festival is one of the most important celebrations in the year for the Kadazandusun ethnic communities of Sabah. Held towards the end of May (30th - 31st) each year, the event celebrates the end of the tough work and looks forward to enjoying the bounty of the harvest. During this festival, Sabah natives wear their traditional costumes and enjoy a carnival atmosphere which stretches from daybreak till dawn. ‘Tapai’ or home-made rice wine is served as the speciality for the day. Sabahans are greeted with a special greeting for the harvest festival known as ‘Kopivosian Tadau Ka’amatan’ or ‘Happy Harvest Festival’. I am sure families and friends back home are enjoying themselves during this season. I wish I can be there (Sabah) with my family to see the cultural performances, music, traditional dances and food and drink in great quantities and of course the Highlights of the festival include the Magavau, a traditional thanksgiving ceremony by the Bobohizan or High Priestess, the Unduk Ngadau or traditional Harvest Festival Queen, cultural dances and much merry making. Oh how I miss this Event so much. I miss Sumazau, I miss wearing the costume, I miss the tapai and lihing ( I am not a good drinker tho LOL), I miss everything about Kamaatan...Entah bila lah our next trip to see Tadau Kamaatan ni. Bah kawan kawan and saudara mara in Sabah and all Kadazan friends around the globe..
