Composer: Unknown. Explanation: Syamsimar claimed authorship (interview with Syamsimar, Pariangan, September 24, 2004). Type of song: Gembira. Genre of origin: New creation. Place affiliations: The city of Batusangkar.
Luak: Tanah Data.
Darek or Rantau: Darek.
Source: Te E's List of Songs, Mardjani's List of Songs. Description: According to Martis, the theme of this song is about the category of "Bujang Marando," a term reserved for bachelors beyond the typical age of marriage. The song lyrics will involve jokes, such as "Why is he not married"? or "How come he sleeps alone"? Padendang will sometimes use an example of someone from the audience if they know someone who fits this criterion.
12020-07-16T19:14:12+00:00Song: "Kutang Barendo"7This song is affiliated with the place, the town of Batusangkar.plain2021-06-26T23:00:51+00:00Translation of Title: "Bra of Lace."

Place affiliations: The city of Batusangkar.
Luak: Tanah Data.
Darek or Rantau: Darek.
Source: Martis, Pak Ketua. Description: This song is a perfect example of a song that Mak Sawir considered porno, and thus not fitting for saluang. The title is "Lacy Bra," which brings one's attention to matters that are taboo and shouldn't be discussed publicly. The implication of this song title is that a woman's bra and/or breasts draw attention. The texts should have a link with the beauty of women's clothing and the life and existence of a bachelor/ widower who is without a woman in his life.

I do not have recordings with both titles to verify if they are the same song or indeed distinct songs. This song might also be listed as "Salawat Dulang," which is the Indonesian spelling. Translation of Title: This song is named after a Minangkabau vocal genre called salawaik dulang. "Salawaik" means "prayer," "dulang" is a kind of round tray. In this genre, the dulang is used as a kind of percussion instrument, played by the vocalists like a frame drum to accompany their vocals. Composer: Unknown.

12020-07-16T19:14:17+00:00Song: "Raimah Tanjuang"4This title translates as "Raimah (a person) from Tanjuang."plain2021-06-27T00:03:56+00:00Translation of Title: "Raimah" is the name of a person, "Tanjuang" is a place, but it's unclear which one. The title is "Raimah of Tanjuang." Composer: Unknown. Type of song: Satangah Tiang. Place affiliations: Saipul associated this song with the Maninjau region, while someone else told me Batusangkar. It's a good example of how people have different interpretations of lagu asal. Source: Te E's List of Songs.
