The world’s first female sape’ performer ~ music from Borneo. The World Listening Post wrote “Alena Murang’s songs evoke both the mystery of a faraway people and instant identification with their reverence for the sky”, accurately highlighting the importance of cultural storytelling and oral traditions in her music.
Learning sape' for over 25 years, Alena was part of a group pioneering the revival of an instrument that was once a fading tradition.
Alena Murang shares stories and song from Dayak Kelabit and Kenyah heritage, with audiences across the globe, citing "it is the sape' that gives me wings"
