The method used is the historical method. The results showed that Sintren developed on the north coast of Java and Central Java in the west and West Java in the east, including Babakan. Sintren function from time to time continues to change. This is influenced by several factors, namely religious (cultural), political, and economic factors. At first, Sintren was a sacred ritual tool. When Islam came, Sintren turned into a means of entertainment that contained a moral message as a medium of da'wah. During the colonial period, Sintren remained as a means of entertainment, but functioned as a political medium of resistance to the colonial government. Until now, Sintren still remains as entertainment, but has been influenced by economic factors so that Sintren is still liked by the community. So, the Sintren performance was modified with modern songs, such as dangdut and Malay. Keywords: sintren, babakan, spread, function, historical
