The Randai Dance is from Minangkabau, West Sumatra and is danced by several men wearing a costume called the galembong. The galembong consists of a wide black jacket called teluk belanga, long trousers, and a head cloth.
The accompanying musical instruments consist of a talempong (like the Javanese bonang with the difference that it consists of only five parts); rebana (tambourine); ralung (a kind of flute); and kendang (drum).As they dance, the dancers sing about the greatness of Minangkabau in the past. A Randai dance performance often lasts six hours.
