Unique and festive, that's the word to describe the death party of Muslim nobles in Toraja custom. A record for holding the largest number of ma'badong dances in Toraja, precisely in Tongkonan Patongloan, Bala'ba, Tarongko, Makale Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi. The record with the highest number is for the Toraja Muslim aristocratic party and the Toraja people in general. The record is in Indonesia and even in the world, said Pong Barumbun, the head of the Toraja custom. The Ma'badong dance, an attraction in the rambu solo' party or death party, was held during the death party of a Muslim nobleman Toraja, the late Ahmad Dalle Salubi bin Salubi who was also a local community leader. In a party called Ma'tambun specifically for Toraja Muslims, 54 black, striped and white buffaloes, a white horse and a number of goats were sacrificed. During the reception, a ma'badong event was held which was presented by three badong groups from several regions in Toraja. They performed together separately in a field in the tongkonan house yard where the party was held, but then the three groups merged into one and formed a large circle around the field. Meanwhile hundreds of groups came from various parts of Toraja and the archipelago came to pay their respects. HIJAB, HIJAB, Viral, trending, #shorts#
