Traditional Malay dance music from Malacca

The colourful and artistic movement of the traditional dance from Malacca was rooted back since the 15th century. apart of the heavy Malay influence there are also influences from the indigenous Malay, Arabs, Chinese, Indian and Portuguese. Following are some examples of the dance captured using Samsung S2. The quality of the sound is not as good as the videos. The youtube has function to minimise the video movement disruptions.
