Musik Krakatau: Identitas Musik Tradisi Dalam Konsepsi Musik Kolaborasi

Abstract

The existence of the Krakatau music group in the development of Sundanese music traditional (karawitan) has a unique dimension, in the sense that it "goes out" of the Sundanese music traditional form as a tradition but at the same time it reinforces the identity of traditional (Sundanese) music in a global context. The study in this paper describes the creative process, and the role of collaboration music, especially Krakatau collaboration music in relation to the flow of popular culture and the preservation of local culture. The conclusions from the study in this paper formulate that collaborative music operates in two areas, namely the area of idealism (creativity and identity of the Sundanese tradition) and the commercial area. In the end, these two roles become interrelated because the profit generated from their role in the music industry is one of the supporting factors for the sustainability of the collaborative music works themselves.
