<![CDATA[Terbang Genduk is a traditional rebana art in Pekalongan rooted in the social life of its surrounding community. Its continuity depends on community appreciation, encompassing worldviews, philosophical values, traditions, ethical and aesthetic values, and local cultural expressions transmitted across generations. As a valuable cultural heritage, Terbang Genduk holds profound philosophical significance and reflects the importance of nurturing and preserving culture. This study employs a qualitative approach with philosophical inquiry to explore its function and existence through collective aesthetics and philosophical values. Field data were collected through direct observation and interviews from August to October 2026 with Gus Mahbub of Lesbumi PCNU Pekalongan, a practitioner and preserver of this art. The research focuses on practitioners’ direct experiences, drawing empirical insights into collective aesthetics and philosophical values from informants’ accounts. The limited number of in-depth scholarly studies on Terbang Genduk provides an opportunity and a challenge to contribute to the philosophy of art. Specifically, this research examines its aesthetic and philosophical values within the dynamics of preserving community-based traditional arts among religious communities in coastal regions.]]>
