Buffalo Soldier Come To Minangkabau

Bob Marley with his song Buffalo Soldier in any cases compatible to be used in some occasion, also Minangkabau have historical stories with Buffalo.
Minang = Victories and Kabau = Watter Buffalo so Minangkabau means Buffalo Win, Buffalo Wins...

Buffalo are common to be used in most South East Asia country for their workhorse in rice field preparation.Probably it was the most useful animals in agrar sectors to prospers the Farmer life's, while it have multiple benefits as workhorse, transportation, and also it was know as the only friendly investment .
No matter where ever you go in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Burma or Philippines the words Kerbau seems much sounds for their ears.It's not the linguistic matter but also their culture migration could be united in Kerbau/Waterbuffel.

In Copenhagen Denmark where one of Indonesians Founding Father with Minangkabau origin, have started his searching of Indonesian socialist economics models; there was a sculpture of Little Mermaids which taken from Hans Christian Andersen, it's could be coincidental cases since in Land of Minangkabau there is also "Nature Carved Stones" in Pasir Manis Bay which have also tales with it. The tales spread up from the fisherman villages, where long times ago have been also used as trade hub of the regions.
Happy Readings for all.
