TADAU TAGAZO DO KADAZAN (2023) DATUK DR. JAMES ONGKILI (COVER BY KADAZAN SOCIETY SABAH)

The reproduction of this iconic song (with permission from Datin Kuyang Margaret Ongkili and Mdm. Julia Emelda Ongkili) is a tribute to the great singer/songwriter of the song, the late politician and historian, Datuk Dr. James Peter Ongkili, who was the first Kadazan to earn a Ph.D. The meaningful lyrics and evergreen melody of the song remind us of the strong unity and love amongst the Kadazan people and all races in Sabah, regardless of ethnicity and creed, not only during Tadau Kaamatan but also in our daily lives. The message in this song is simple but powerful, timeless and endearing.
