 Indung songs were originally sung by women during the weeding of paddy fields, specifically being practised only in the rural interior of the Pahang state. The songs were supposed to be sung across several days to accompany weeding work, and always began and ended with the song Anak Indung. Most of the songs are slow and lack any consistent rhythm. Indung may be best described as a collection of lyrical poems expressed through various melodies with lyrical turns. (Chan, 1998 and 2001)
