Description: This song resembles "Mudiak Suak" and "Suntiang Patah Batikam" in terms of melodic structure, with a melody focused on just three pitches. As both Martis and Pak Ketua told me, it is not unusual for songs from the same place--in this case Maninjau--to be resemble each other or be nearly identical in terms of structure. Martis used the word "kiek" to describe this.
