Rimpu Tembe, Patu Cambe, Ndiri Biola, Mpa’a Kantau, Hadarah are only a few examples of Bimanese culture and oral traditions which are performed by Bima and Dompu ethnic groups. The main function of Nggahi Mbojo (Bima language) in Bima and Dompu regencies is as a means of communication among members in the society.
