			=== Contemporary listening and repertoire ===

			The listening programme now includes [[Malay pop]]; [[Malaysian hip-hop]]; [[Malaysian rock]]; [[Sape music]]; [[Mandopop]]. These additions place contemporary local repertoire alongside the region’s continuing traditions. National-language routes use country-scoped recordings within this overlapping frame, while regional and community music changes the emphasis. City networks and smaller local frames coexist with provincial and rural listening; none of these programmed weights is a surveyed audience share.

[[Sape music]]; [[Melayu folk]]; [[Zapin]]. Orang Ulu sape traditions and contemporary ensembles connect interior communities with Sarawak’s coastal cultural centres.

== Artists ==

Alena Murang’s “Put Burui” and “Warrior Spirit” provide contrasting ensemble examples. Their primary recording credits identify the collaborators and distinguish original work from inherited repertoire.

== Boundary definition and research ==

The pinned Natural Earth first-level outline of Sarawak provides the working land frame. Overlap with the broader region is intentional. Sources support cultural connections; these approximate editorial boundaries are not exclusive cultural borders.
