Original description

Anak Ayam (Zapin) is a traditional instrumental Malaysian folk dance in the zapin style, performed in a popular idiom by violinist Hamzah Dolmat and his group Rakan2. The unestablished instrumentation most likely includes a harmonium, violin, and percussion, with other instruments such as the oud (fretless lute), accordion, and drum also used. The music falls into the categories of popular music, folk songs and music, folk dance music, and world and traditional music, specifically from Asia. The performance was recorded by Radio Malaysia and the BBC Tropical Tapes, with the reel containing 4 minutes and 10 seconds of music. The performers include violinist Hamzah Dolmat and his group Rakan2, as well as an unidentified sound recordist.
