Ulek Mayang: The Rhythm That Wrote My Warrior Princesses
This is the beat that shaped my book, and the breath behind my warrior women Ulek Mayang is a traditional healing dance-ritual from the state of Terengganu. It is a ritualistic dance performed to appease or invoke the spirits of the sea and is always accompanied by a unique song. The word ulek means “to soothe” or “to lull,” and mayang refers to the flowering fronds of the coconut palm, used as a sacred object in the performance. It’s believed to heal fishermen or villagers who fall ill due to spiritual disturbance, especially from sea spirits or unseen forces tied to the ocean.
