The stories for randai performances are kaba. Typically a randai troupe specializes in one specific story. Saluang is used for the opening and interludes between scenes. The style of singing, however, is unlike the malam bagurau performances. It involves solo delivery of lines of text and the chorus--the players in the circle--joining at the end of pantun. This is the style that gets incorporated in malam bagurau during Talingkin and Jalu-jalu sequences.
