KUMBANG HITAM

Sebuah gelaran,
Yang menggerunkan,
Ada pencemuh membencikan,
Ada yang tabik beri penghormatan,

Ngauman bak halilintar,
Jika dicuba pasti dilempar,
Atau tersungkur jatuh terdampar,
Sebagai didikan bagi pencabar,

Rentak membuat semua tersentak,
Bukan omong kosong tin retak,
Berdesing bunyi membuak-buak,
Namun tak beri secebis impak,

Siapa kan mengerti,
Hari-hari derita yang dilalui,
Cemuhan menguatkan hati,
Moga tabah Panglima sejati,
Perjuanganmu kan kekal diingati…

Nukilan : Iswan Basro

KHTC Traditional Musician Team

KHTC move a step further. For the first time a group of traditional musician was established. 6 person are assigned to undergo a training to play the instrument. The musical instrument was made from Kelantan and as per schedule it was ready in the 3rd week of November. The instrument are consists of 2 gendang, 1 gong and 1 serunai. The player selected will undergo various style of tune especially the traditional method. They also will be taught the tune of a nobat.

KHTC had a big plan for the setup team and it is going to be the biggest task and challenge for them. For all who are interested to utilized the team please feel free to contact any KHTC members .

KHTC Gendang and Serunai

The purpose of setting up the musician are to prepare and equip  as we can in order to preserved the adat of Silat Seni Gayong. Although Silat Seni Gayong don't utilized music during their event except the event of adat, the traditional music is an important part of the Malay culture.

The understanding and coordinating while playing the instrument are important between all the players. It is not only coordinating between musician but is also coordinating with the silat performer. Although Silat Seni Gayong apply music on the adat event but other silat style did utilized music in their silat play. Here KHTC will add as another traditional musical player in any event invited.

KHTC Gong

There are different style of tune from the north to the south. KHTC are taking a step to learn all the different tune and become a centre or preserving the traditional tune of traditional gendang music in the Malay Peninsula. It will take years and years of study and learning but it must get to start from the line. This is not an easy vision but nothing can be achieve without trying and doing. At KHTC we feel strongly that we will achieve the target and with the support of all the members helping hand in hand we will climb the mountain as high as we can.

Superb, KHTC first musical team badge and a history is making .Please keep up with all the strength and spirit for all the community of our Gayong's family.

Semoga kita diberkati.
