KUCHING: Cultural performances, beautiful Kumangs and Keligits, and powerful renditions by six singers will be the highlights of the 2009 National-level Gawai Dayak Open House to be held at the State Indoor Stadium here this Saturday (June 13).

Chairman of the celebration's sub-committee, Dato Peter Minos said the cultural show would be jointly performed by the Sarawak Cultural Village and the Dayak Cultural Foundation.

Minos also said that two singers, one each from the Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu communities, would also perform at the show. "We will put up the very best cultural shows for the National-level Gawai to indicate that, we the Dayaks (Ibans, Bidayuh and Orang Ulus) have very rich, colourful and wonderful cultures.

We have also selected beautiful Dayak maidens from all over the state and top Dayak singers for the show."
