Cempako Rodat Dance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rodat Cempako Dance is one of the traditional dances originating from South Sumatra, namely Palembang which has many examples of Indonesian cultural arts. This dance is a dance art that grows and develops in the Muslim community who live in Palembang. This dance performance uses Arabic poetry or syiiran derived from the Berzanji Book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The presence of this dance in Palembang is generally associated with the Syaropal Anam Association or PSA. This dance is performed to hold a bridal accompaniment parade because it has the uniqueness of regional dance movements in Indonesia. In addition, this dance is played for other Islamic arts. And usually intended to coincide with the tradition of commemorating the Prophet’s Birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The author of this book is Sheikh Ja’far al-Barzanji bin Hasan bin Abdul Karim. The name of this book itself is taken from the name of the author. He was born in Medina in 1960 and died in 1766. The name was taken from the name of a place in Kurdistan, Barzinj, Syria. The result of his work is factually entitled iqd al-Jawahir in Arabic which means Jewel Necklace. Which was written to add to the love of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Although eventually more famous by the name of the author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Berzanji Book is a popular literary book (many praises) in the Muslim community which contains readings of sholawat of praise to the Prophet Muhammad. The content of this book is to talk about the life of the Prophet Muhammad which is explained in succession, namely the history of his descendants, from childhood until he became an apostle. It also tells of the noble character possessed by the apostle, as well as various events to be used as a reflection of mankind throughout the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recitation of this book is usually done on various occasions as a request to achieve something better. If there are activities for the birth of a baby, aqiqah (shaving of hair), weddings, circumcision (circumcision), and other ceremonies. At this time, the commemoration of Maulid with the Book of Berzanji like that has begun to decrease, and is usually more focused on the Nahdiliyin (Nahdatul Ulama) pesantren. This book is not difficult to get, even now there is a complete translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Characteristics of Dance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The hallmark of this dance is the accompaniment of rhymes that are sung using the tambourine musical instrument simultaneously and this is what is called Rodat.
