Nasit
figure
posted on 2017-06-05, 07:02 authored by Kartomi, Margaret J., Kartomi, HidrisFor female participants. Middle-Eastern in origin, the nasit of the Mandailing ethnic group are songs with Muslim sacred texts that are sung in Arabic or the Indonesian language. As this image indicates, nasit is usually performed by teenage girls (in this case in South Tapanuli) or women, in solo and group formations, while they dance and accompany themselves with frame drums of varying sizes.
