Abstract

The mandolin, a type of chordophone instrument originating from Italy and was introduced to Indonesia in the 19th century. Recognized for its melodic character, the mandolin warrants in-depth exploration, particularly regarding its function as a secular musical instrument. Its presence significantly influences public appreciation in Pontianak, especially when featured in dangdut performances as a form of entertainment. This study aims to examine the role of the mandolin as a melodic instrument in dangdut music used for entertainment purposes in Pontianak City. A qualitative research approach was adopted, utilizing a case study method. The case was explored descriptively through data obtained from observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through methodological triangulation and extended observation. Data analysis involved reduction, presentation using mind maps, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that the mandolin plays a vital role as both a musical identity and a reinforcing element in dangdut music. In its role as an entertainment medium, the mandolin contributes to the enthusiasm and appreciation of the Pontianak community for dangdut music. This research is significant as it highlights the mandolin’s legitimizing role and distinctive contribution to dangdut, offering an alternative model for incorporating melodic instrument variations into similar musical performances.

Abstract

This article examines the compositional strategies of the musical group Djiwoastra in constructing a musical identity rooted in historical and cultural narratives of the Nusantara through the medium of metal music. Using an autoethnographic approach, the paper reflects the creator’s lived experience in the creative process. The musical exploration undertaken by the group not only blends sonic elements, but also presents a dialectic between traditional and modern aesthetics within musical structure. Through collaborative methods that take into account the technical and expressive limitations of each member, Djiwoastra’s works develop linear and narratively driven musical patterns contextualized within the spirit of Javanese cultural might. Traditional instruments such as the Gandrang Makassar, Puik-Puik, and Balinese Ceng-Ceng are not treated as mere ornamentation but are integrated as structural elements in crafting a hybrid and articulate musical identity. This article posits that Djiwoastra’s creative practice is not merely an aesthetic endeavor, but a cultural strategy oriented toward resisting the homogenization of global musical tastes by revitalizing local values within a contemporary musical framework.

Abstract

This research aims to deeply understand the function of Saron in the composition of Javanese gamelan and uncover the symbolism inherent in the instrument in the people of Central Java. The Saron, as the core instrument of the gamelan, not only serves as the main melody producer, but also has a rich symbolic meaning. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods and literature studies. Data collection was carried out through participatory observation in various gamelan performances at traditional and ritual events in Central Java, as well as in-depth interviews with pengrawit (gamelan players) and local cultural figures. In addition, literature studies from art and cultural journals relevant to gamelan and traditional musical instruments of Central Java were also carried out. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive methods of interpretive analytics. The results of the study show that Saron not only functions as a sound producer with its distinctive characteristics, but also as a symbolic representation that connects society, culture, and spirituality in the Javanese context. Saron game techniques and improvisation express a wide range of emotions. Through its role in gamelan, rituals, and social life, Sarons are a reflection of cultural identity, a guardian of harmony, and a messenger of life.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the reflection of Sundanese worldview in Mang Koko's song lyrics and the process of packaging them into musical works. The method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through literature study, documentation, and interviews, then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results showed that four elements of Sundanese worldview - spiritual, social, moral, and life balance values - were implied in Mang Koko's lyrics that were born from a process of deep contemplation. Song lyrics do not only convey values, but are consciously arranged based on the cognitive and psychological development levels of listeners, ranging from children to the elderly. This shows the principle of humanity that Mang Koko holds dear. He instills normative values of Sundanese character early on through songs, making music an effective educational and cultural medium.

Abstract

Sawer Penganten (Sundanese Sawer) is a cultural practice of the Sundanese people. The Sundanese tribe, originally from Java, migrated to Medan, a city characterized by its ethnic diversity. This diversity enriches the cultural landscape of Medan. This research explores the significance of the lyrics of Sawer Sunda (Sawer Penganten) within the context of wedding ceremonies in Medan. The primary focus of this study is to analyse the meaning of the Sawer Sunda lyrics (Sawer Penganten) in this urban setting. To conduct this analysis, the author employs Ferdinand de Saussure's theory. A qualitative research methodology is utilized to gather and collect data. Qualitative research is fundamentally naturalistic, as described by Dr. H. Zuchri Abdussammad, and is conducted in the field. The author undertook observations, interviews, and captured photographs or videos for data collection purposes. The findings of this study indicate that Sawer Sunda (Sawer Penganten) is a significant wedding custom among the Sundanese, serving as a means for parents to impart their advice to the bride and groom. The Sundanese events held in Medan maintain the philosophical values inherent to the Sundanese tribe's region of origin.
