Abstract

This study aims to analyze Didong music form as a of cultural identity among the Gayo people of Aceh, by analyzing its instruments, melodies, rhythms, and poetry. This study employs ethnomusicology using the kualitatif etnografis method, gathering data through observation, documentation, and wawancara. The main subjects of the study are Didong and traditional figures involved in preserving Gayo cultural arts. Analysis is carried out through transcription, terbuka pengkodean, penafsiran, and cultural and musical interpretation. According to the study's findings, traditional instruments like the bantal didong and the telapak tangan (palm) create a khas rhythm that serves as the rhythms foundation for syair. Melodi didong, which employs guk, tok, gelduk, and sarik vocal techniques, conveys a strong emotional expression and creates a unique musical style. Through several beat marker rhythms such as tepok tulu, tepok bantal, tingkah pumu, tingkah bantal, and geretek enhance the character of Didong rhythms. Meanwhile, Gayo-language poetry contains cultural values, social criticism, and collective symbols of the Gayo community. These elements show that Didong music serves as both an aesthetic expression and a cultural identity for the Gayo people. This study highlights the importance of integrating music and culture analysis and creating an interdisciplinary research space on music as a social and ideological phenomenon.

Abstract

This study examines the shift in the symbolic meaning of Acehnese gravestones in the postcolonial context. Although their visual forms have largely remained unchanged, the community’s interpretation of the symbols carved upon them has shifted significantly. Symbols that once embodied religious and social values are now often reinterpreted merely as aesthetic ornaments. Using Charles Sanders Peirce’s cultural semiotic approach, this research analyzes how the same signs are read differently by societies over time. Field observations, visual documentation, and in-depth interviews with local cultural figures and historians were conducted. The findings reveal a paradigm shift from a transcendent worldview to a materialistic-aesthetic one, where meaning is seen as inherent in material form. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how material cultural symbols are reinterpreted within Acehnese modernity.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the practice of Didong as a form of body music and its role in the enculturation process of Gayo children in Central Aceh Regency, Indonesia. It focuses on informal social spaces where children play with their peers. To analyze how body-based Didong becomes a medium of enculturation through musical experiences and spontaneous social interactions, an ethnographic-based qualitative approach is used. Data were collected through participatory observation and informal dialogue with children aged 5-10 years who practice Didong. The results reveal that rhythmic elements such as tepok tulu, tingkah, and geretek are produced through the technique of clapping both palms together in a collectively organized manner. Through peer imitation mechanisms, children can reproduce musical patterns, which internalize the Gayo cultural identity in an embodied way. Theoretically, this study contributes by deconstructing the understanding of traditional music from merely a formal performance into an autonomous system of enculturation in children's daily lives. These findings confirm that body music functions as a crucial informal pedagogical space for the sustainability of local traditions outside formal educational institutions.
