Bario

Bario.
Perhaps it was the exotic ring
of its name, perhaps just wanderlust,
which took me to this seldom
travelled corner of Sarawak
State in Borneo.

The sape is a traditional lute of many of
the Orang Ulu or "upriver people",
who live in the longhouses that line the
rivers of Central Borneo. Sapes are carved
from a single bole of wood, with many modern
instruments reaching over a metre in length.
