SAMRAH ORCHESTRA AS THE REPRESENTATION OF THE MIDDLE BETAWI COMMUNITY
Abstract
This paper will show the art of traditional music that forms the cultural identity of the owner community, in this case is the middle Betawi society. Based on the language and geographical location, ethnic betawi is divided into three, they are middle betawi, edge betawi and coastal betawi. Later on edge betawi and coastal betawi are considered the same. Differences also emerge from the traditions which grow in each region, such as their art of traditional music. The samrah orchestra that flourished in the middle Betawi region has a distinction that distinguishes it from other musical arts in other region. Schechner (2002) in the performance review notice that everyday behavior can be converted into an art such as theater, dance or music. The author will associate the behavior of middle Betawi who are converted into music in the orchestra samrah, which later became the identity of the community. Other concepts such as Dilthey's frame of mind about "Experience" and Simon Firth's concepts of "identity and music" will be used as a reference in seeing how a samrah orchestra can shape the cultural identity of the middle betawi community
