The artistry of Traditional Minangkabau on the Verge of Extinction

If we are talking about the land of the Minangkabau, West Sumatra, what the hell are you thinking? Perhaps the first thing in your mind that randang, nasi Padang, rumah gadang, a Clock Tower and overseas.

Culture, customs and a thick accent made wherever the Minang people are, it would appear clear that he was Minang people. And interestingly they exist in many cities in Indonesia.

Minangkabau is the only tribe who adheres to a system of matrilineal in Indonesia. That means, each child was born, both men and women will directly become a member of the family of the tribe of the mother, because in Minangkabau lineage drawn based on the mother’s family.

Minangkabau are also often go abroad. They dared to go because it is equipped with the teachings of the martial arts and a strong faith. Therefore people Minang known as a devout muslim.

Traditional art derived from the words art and traditional. The art that is the beauty of a traditional, that is the habits that are applicable in the customs. So, the art of traditional Minangkabau means expression of the sense of beauty that bersumberbdari customary habits and culture of the Minangkabau.

The exquisite taste of it for the Minangkabau people is usually sourced from the surrounding nature, good motion, sound and shape of what he saw. Expression of indigenous states :

Custom expressions that imply that everyone should be able to mempetinggi taste, add value, and use the mind to develop the art that comes from nature Minangkabau.

The beauty and diversity of the arts Minangkabau is a legacy that can support and complement the other arts in Indonesia. Art-this art form of dance that consists of Tari Piring, Tari rantak, Tari Randai, Tari Indang, Dance Umbrella, and others.

In addition, there are the arts of poetry and sambah-manyambah. There is art music with musical instruments, saluang, gandang tabuik, tambourine and other-other.

Minangkabau culture also gave birth to many ethnic musical instruments and songs. In between that of a typical musical instrument Minangkabau is saluang talempong, rabab, as well as bansi. The fourth instrument is usually played in a traditional feast and marriage. Now music Minang not limited played by using four of the instrument.

The development of the times at the time this gave the effect of a cause for concern against the minangkabau culture. The longer acknowlege the Minangkabau is getting fade time when many of the younger generation who are starting to forget their own culture. The younger generation is increasingly indifferent to the ins and outs of Minangkabau culture as the art that is in it. Most of the young generation Minangkabau now a lot of the shame culture that he has.

He is happy with the culture of the people outside like Kpop, and other things. He also is happy to play the tik tok of the on play a game of Minangkabau. He is happy to listen to the music of Korea, Japan, and Indonesia.

The young generation of the Minangkabau is now even more fun with meekspresikan things that he liked with a foreign language compared with the language of their own. So make kesenian minangkabau forgotten and no one wants to preserve it back.

The younger generation can now be said to be very minimal with the value of moral and cultural values of art. The younger generation is now more prone to sin, call it a line-up of events meaning-artis Korea, boyband and grilband he knew it, even to the historical past about Minangkabu he did not know.

This state of so slice heart and feeling, when the nomads Minangkabau all over the country the motherland trying to preserve the variation of the minangkabau culture, but that seemed to be in vain because the local community Minangkabau itself is not able to preserve their own culture.

And when the culture minangkabau ensure listening by other countries, the funny thing is youth minangkabau feel so furious.

At the present time many of us see not so much the presence of the appearance of art in Minangkabau. If there kesenian minangkabau we see at this time, namely in the form of dance in the show at the time of the event the party.

As well as songs Minang sung when the event a party or event-specific events. First people of Minangkabau anywhere we are art minaag we always heard through the music instrument such as Pupuik, Saluang, and Rabab.

Now we rarely meet more people that play pupuik and saluang. The delivery of Media arts is already limited and a lot of the people delivering the art in places such as in Pertamina, At a red light, and in other places.

We as the younger generation must preserve, cultivate and respect the art that has existed since time immemorial. That is not extinct modern era, also to keep as well as possible so as not taken/claimed by outsiders, and the main thing is to always uphold the mandate of the precursor to the next generation of all of the arts and culture this be the root of all life.

Should the successor generation is now made up his mind to be able to unite a shared vision to keep the traditional arts and culture to remain intact in the everyday life of the community. Not as of this moment, the young man many don’t care and still boasts the attitude of individualism and apathy.
