Song in the Sumatran Highlands

Song: "Salawaik Talam"

Alternative Title: Te E lists both "Salawaik Dulang" and "Salawaik Talam" as separate titles, but the titles translate as the same thing. I do not have recordings with both titles to verify if they are the same song or indeed distinct songs.
Translation of Title: The title of this song effectively means the same thing as "Salawaik Dulang," as "talam" is another name for a round serving tray.
Composer: Syamsimar claimed authorship (interview with Syamsimar, Pariangan, September 24, 2004).
Type of song: Satangah Tiang.
Place affiliations: Unknown.
