Abstract

Gandang Lasuang is a traditional musical art that originates from Jorong Pasa Lamo, Sasak Ranah Pasisie District, West Pasaman Regency. The main instrument, called lasuang, is traditionally made of wood and was initially used as a tool for pounding rice. Over time, this functional household tool was transformed into a musical instrument that produces rhythmic sounds when struck with wooden sticks. Historically, Gandang Lasuang was used as a form of self-entertainment, particularly by women while pounding rice or by fishermen during bright moon nights when they did not go to sea. Today, Gandang Lasuang has taken on a more significant role in the social and cultural life of the community. It is performed not only for entertainment but also as part of important traditional events, especially wedding ceremonies, traditional rituals, national holidays, and various community celebrations in Jorong Pasa Lamo. This research aims to analyze the functions of lasuang music within wedding ceremonies. A qualitative descriptive method was used, with data collected through literature studies, field observations, and interviews with key informants including members of the Nyiur Melambai art group, traditional leaders (Ninik Mamak), and local residents. The study finds that lasuang music serves various functions in wedding ceremonies: emotional expression, entertainment, communication, physical engagement, response stimulation, reinforcement of social norms, cultural preservation, and fostering of community integration. These functions highlight the cultural importance of Gandang Lasuang as both a musical tradition and a means of strengthening social bonds in the local community.

Abstract

This study explores the Barakik-Rakik oral tradition that has developed in the Nagari Maninjau community, West Sumatra, as part of the Minangkabau cultural heritage, which is rich in moral, social, and spiritual values. This tradition serves not only as entertainment but also as an educational medium, a means of strengthening cultural identity, and a vehicle for transmitting noble values in community life. In practice, Barakik-Rakik often conveys social criticism, advice, and reflections on daily life through distinctive symbols and traditional artistic expressions. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, through direct observation and interviews with local cultural practitioners. The research findings indicate that this tradition reflects the Minangkabau philosophy of life, such as “adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi Kitabullah,” and embodies deeply rooted local wisdom. Therefore, the preservation of Barakik-Rakik is important, not only as part of Indonesia's cultural heritage but also as a valuable resource for character education and the formation of cultural identity rooted in the local community's way of life.
