Three visually impaired students from Kota Kinabalu defied the odds and clinched the first prize at the International Youth Music Competitions (IYMC) in July under the Folk, Traditional and World Music category. The Sabahan students performed the folk song Lenggang Kangkung using three traditional percussion instruments – gong, bamboo drum and kulintang, an eight-piece brass gong. Stefanus, 29, submitted his students’ video entry for July’s theme on folk, traditional and world music. Stefanus (top left) has been training his special needs students virtually since the start of the third movement control order. During the third movement control order in June, we conducted our training virtually.
