Exploring the Crisis of Cultural Identity as Reflected in Contemporary Manggarai Songs
Full text linkThis study aims to identify and analyze forms of cultural identity crisis in contemporary Manggarai songs circulating through social media. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis method and Bhabha's Cultural Hybridity theory, to examine the relationship between song lyrics, social practices, and the use of cultural symbols. The results of this study indicate that the cultural identity crisis is reflected in ambivalent discourse and the use of traditional symbols in new forms that are inconsistent with their original meanings. Cultural symbols that were once sacred now appear in the context of emotional expression, social humor, and digital entertainment. This phenomenon shows a shift in meaning and function, where society is no longer in a position of established identity, but instead in a space of negotiation between tradition and modernity. Local music in the digital era has become an important arena for responding to social and economic pressures and the influence of media algorithms. This study concludes that cultural expression through songs reflects the dynamics of constantly changing identities. Recommendations for further research include expanding the study to other musical genres or different cultural contexts to understand the transformation of cultural identity in the broader digital landscape
Musical Characteristics of the Pingxian Folk Song as Cultural Narrative
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the musical characteristics of the Pingxian Folk Song in Ping’an District, Qinghai Province, with a particular focus on its function as a cultural narrative. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research integrates ethnomusicological analysis, field observations, and interpretive frameworks to examine four key dimensions: lyrical structure and language use, rhythmic patterns and vocal ornamentation, melodic and modal systems, and cultural symbolism embedded in performance contexts. Findings indicate that Pingxian folk songs exhibit a distinct lyrical form known as the “3.5-line structure,” incorporating hybrid use of Mandarin and local dialects that reflect regional linguistic identity. The flexible rhythmic style, often governed by breath and emotion, is supported by the traditional use of Paiban as a percussive timing device. Melodic lines follow a modal system capable of symbolic modulation, such as transitions between Bb Gong and C Shang Qingyue, to express shifts in emotional and ritual states. Culturally, the songs encode ethnic memory and social values through symbolic narratives referencing local myths, ancestral figures, and natural imagery. Performances are deeply embedded in ritual, seasonal festivals, and informal educational settings, thereby serving as dynamic vehicles for the transmission of intangible cultural heritage. These musical features collectively affirm the role of Pingxian Folk Song as a medium for maintaining ethnic identity and cultural continuity. The study highlights the necessity of understanding folk music as both sonic art and cultural practice. It is recommended that future research explore comparative modal systems across folk traditions in the Hehuang cultural region and investigate the integration of Pingxian folk elements into contemporary educational and digital platforms to support sustainable heritage preservation
Sasando as a Symbol of Cultural Identity of the Rote Island Community and the Challenges of Preserving
No full textThis research examines Sasando as a symbol of cultural identity and pride of the people of Rote Island by exploring its philosophical values, social functions, and the challenges of its preservation in the midst of modernization. The present study employed a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with Sasando players, craftsmen, and cultural figures. The research findings reveal three key aspects: the value of cultural identity reflected in the use of natural materials (bamboo and palm) and its role in traditional rituals as a marker of local wisdom, social function as a medium of community unification in collaborative events and a means of intergenerational value transmission, and preservation challenges in the form of declining interest from the younger generation, lack of integration in formal education, and limited promotion. The research also identified opportunities through cultural festivals and tourism-based economic potential. The research conclusions emphasize that Sasando is not merely a musical instrument, but rather a symbol of collective identity that represents the history, social values, and cultural resilience of the Rote people. The following policy recommendations are put forth: first, the integration of a Sasando-based curriculum; second, the strengthening of youth training programs; and third, multi-stakeholder collaboration for sustainable promotion strategies. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the discussion of the relationship between traditional musical instruments, identity construction, and cultural preservation strategies in the midst of globalization
Gamelan Reinvented: Cultural Sound Transformation in Membranophone Ensembles of East Java
No full textThis study explores the phenomenon of pèghâ' in the musical traditions of terbhâng ghendhing and kemplang in Probolinggo and Bondowoso, which emerged as a response to past religious prohibitions on the use of metal gamelan instruments. The research focuses on uncovering the adaptation of metal gamelan music into the membranophone ensembles of terbhâng ghendhing and kemplang from a musicological perspective. Using qualitative approaches and ethnographic methods, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that elements such as kejhungan, drumming patterns, bonang patterns, and gending structures were preserved, although the shift from metal to membrane caused significant changes. These changes resulted in a playing style that is more repetitive, dynamic, and aligned with the membranophone's characteristics. This study also challenges the conventional view of membranophones as purely rhythmic instruments, demonstrating their capability to perform complex melodic roles in terbhâng ghendhing and kemplang. The process of pèghâ' underscores traditional music as a dynamic entity that continues to evolve through local creativity, creating new musical identities while maintaining its cultural roots
Performing Cosmology: Sound, Movement, and World-Making in the Turuk Lagai Ritual of Mentawai
Full text linkThis research investigates Turuk Lagai, a central ritual of the Mentawai people in West Sumatra, Indonesia, as a performative act that enacts and sustains their cosmological worldview. The study's objective is to understand how this ritual reflects belief and constitutes reality through embodied and relational practices. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study draws on long-term fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and thematic analysis assisted by QualCoder. Data were coded and interpreted through a theoretical framework combining Victor Turner's ritual process, Catherine Bell's ritualization theory, and Tim Ingold's concept of relational ontology. The analysis identified three overarching themes—Embodiment, Spiritual Correspondence, and Relational Ontology—that demonstrate how bodily movement, chants, offerings, and environmental elements co-produce a cosmological order. Rather than symbolizing cosmology, Turuk Lagai brings it into being, renewing social and spiritual relationships between humans, nature, and ancestral forces. The study concludes that Turuk Lagai is a dynamic system of knowledge production and cosmological maintenance. It recommends greater recognition of indigenous ritual not as static tradition but as an active and vital mode of world-making with implications for cultural preservation and ecological ethics
Promoting the Principles of Ecological Ethics, Ecosociology, and Ecomusicology through the Practice of Planting Songs in the Rote Society
Full text linkThis study seeks to analyze the planting songs of the Rote society through the lenses of ecological ethics, ecosociology, and ecomusicology. The research method is qualitative ethnography, utilizing semiotic and thematic data analysis tools. From an ecological ethics perspective, the planting song is viewed as a profound expression of reverence for nature as the source of life. Maintaining ecological balance through sustainable agricultural practices reflects reverence and serves as a medium for the spiritual connection among humans, nature, and the divine. From an ecosociological standpoint, planting songs function as a medium for social communication, encapsulating values of empathy, responsibility, and the ethos of collectivism and solidarity among farmers, widows, and orphans – social groups lacking a stable income and facing economic vulnerability. Planting songs exemplify a significant aspect of ecomusicology, functioning as a means of communication between humans and nature that encapsulates life experiences, collective cultural memory, and impressions of the natural world. A comprehensive grasp of the interplay between culture, environment, and ethical conduct underpins the sustainability of communal existence in the Rote society
Traditional Sundanese Music as a Medium for Environmental Advocacy: A Case Study of the Song Kuring Leungiteun in the Context of the Global Ecological Crisis
Full text linkKajian ini mengeksplorasi Kuring Leungiteun , sebuah lagu tradisional Sunda, sebagai media advokasi ekologis melalui dimensi musikal, puitis, dan kulturalnya. Dengan menggunakan desain studi kasus instrumental kualitatif, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana arsitektur komposisi—khususnya melodi, ritme, laras, tempo, dinamika, dan ornamen vokal—mewujudkan dan memperkuat duka ekologis dan perpindahan spiritual. Analisis ini mengacu pada teori fungsi musik Merriam, ekokritik sastra, teori glokalisasi, dan prinsip kosmologi Sunda Tri Tangtu di Buana , sebuah triad kosmologi Sunda yang melambangkan harmoni antara manusia, alam, dan Tuhan. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, analisis audiovisual, dan studi musikologi dari berbagai adaptasi dari tahun 1989 hingga 2018. Temuan ini mengungkapkan bahwa Kuring Leungiteun bukan sekadar artefak budaya, melainkan narasi sonik yang digarap secara sadar: penggunaan laras madenda membangkitkan melankolis sakral, sementara tempo lambat, kendali dinamis, dan ornamen mikrotonal mengekspresikan trauma ekologis kolektif. Transformasi lagu ini lintas genre, mulai dari Celempungan hingga pop Sunda, menggambarkan kemampuan adaptasi glokal dan relevansi sosialnya yang abadi. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa musik tradisional dapat berfungsi sebagai platform penting bagi etika lingkungan, transmisi memori, dan keterlibatan publik sejalan dengan kerangka kerja global seperti SDG 13 dan 15. Studi ini merekomendasikan revitalisasi strategis bentuk-bentuk musik tradisional sebagai media partisipatif untuk keberlanjutan budaya dan kesadaran ekologis

The Resonant Roots of Pappaseng: Seeking Musical Inspiration from the Film Kuru Sumange
Full text linkThis article examines the creative process of creating film music inspired by the cultural heritage of the Bugis people, focusing specifically on the incorporation of pappaseng verses in the film Kuru Sumange. Pappaseng denotes the oral transmission of ancestral wisdom, moral guidance, and philosophical insights that have been repeatedly passed down through generations, embodying profound ethical and spiritual values that are intricately woven into Bugis culture. This study emphasizes how film music serves as a medium for revitalizing traditional values, enabling them to be reimagined and expressed through modern artistic e ces amidst the challenges posed by modernization and the diminishing presence of oral traditions. The study utilizes a Practice-Based Research (PBR) method, framing the process of musical creation as a method for gathering data and a way to interpret them analytically. This method intertwines the process of composition with the act of inquiry, transforming the music into a space for generating knowledge. In the case of Kuru Sumange, selected pappaseng quotations are converted into lyrics and further crafted into melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic structures that closely align with the film’s narrative flow and emotional atmosphere. This transformation allows the music to serve not solely as an aesthetic enhancement to the visual imagery, but also as a means of conveying traditional values to contemporary audiences. The findings indicate two key contributions: firstly, film scenes serve as the main stimuli for musical creation, influencing decisions regarding instrumentation, dynamics, and thematic development; secondly, the philosophical dialogues found in pappaseng are skillfully transformed into lyrical content, thus connecting oral tradition with cinematic expression. This work showcases the considerable potential of music as a culturally contextual and emotionally impactful approach for preserving culture, facilitating intergenerational communication, and creatively revitalizing Bugis heritage through local cinema
