KELINGAI GENDUP - DJ XAVIER ft Shirley (Official Lyrics)

Gendup is a legendary figure in Iban folklore, credited with bringing the art of traditional Iban tattooing (known as tato or pangkong) from the spirit world to the human realm, with the first tattoos being made on him by spirit tattooists after he was taken to their world while hunting, marking him as the first human to receive these elaborate designs that signify bravery, experience, and identity. The story of Gendup explains the origin of Iban tattoos, which became a vital part of their culture, often linked to bravery and journeys (bejalai).
