Rijoq, a Dayak Benuaq vocal music, has been passed down from generation to generation through oral tradition for hundreds of years.When and how it was founded, developed and preserved in the Dayak community remains questionable.But according to some research done by scholars, Rijoq has its origin from Dayak Bawo, a tribe living in the borderlines between Central, South, and East Kalimantan.

.Rijoq is normally performed during festivities, such as: initiation, reconciliation, menugal (rice planting) and potong kerbau (buffalo slaughtering).
Rijoq’s texts have very deep messages which are considered still relevant to today’s life context.On the one hand, it speaks about the horizontal relationship—human beings and their fellows, and human beings and its nature—; and on the other hand, the vertical relationship—human beings with their Creator.The primary concern of doing this research is to preserve Rijoq as written and recorded documents.So far, this research has been successful in notating and recording five kinds of Rijoq, that is Peket Muat Bolupm (working together to build lives), Rijoq Patuk Ajer (advice), Rijoq Natal Tautn Bayuq (Christmas and New Year), Rijoq Isiq Asekng Sookng Bawe (the expression of a man’s feeling who is falling in love with a woman), and Rijoq Lati Tana Orekng Tepa (forests and lands are disappearing and gone).
