Decent song Minang Evolving

Lately, many responses appear to track Minang is developing now. Among them was, "Now there is no more songs Minang. There, the songs speak Minang nuts. Much different from the periods under the decade of the 1980s. Minang sang songs, washed and full of meaning. Consequently, the all-time song-song so timeless. Known and loved all the generations, "written in a blog.

Also note of disappointment or concern as that is now endemic in Minangkabau society, see the development of the songs today. It seems like the song Minang lose flavor and meaning. Identical to the first song ratok (lamentation), because the roots of Saluang also sang rabab and Bansi, though now covered by a musical composition is developing now. As such it was also felt Ardoni Yonas, observers and songwriter Minang, "Although not all of them, but we would agree that the song Minang now no longer reflects the culture. Example, in a song Minang, there is a man who was crying because her boyfriend left. In fact, the Minang culture, men were brave and not cry. "

Indra Yeni, researchers track Minang, the observations also found the same thing. "What can not be separated from the first song is Minang messages contained therein. For people Minang, the song is a message, delivered with a sense of berkias. During its development, the song Minang now it no longer appeared. Perhaps, because I grew up with the old culture, so I conclude that the songs Minang now have almost no more messages in each of its delivery. "

In fact, Minang legendary singer, Elly Kasim was promoted to the same thing about the song Minang now. As reported by padangkini.com, "If the first song was taken from a poem Minang the Minangkabau culture is one that hides the meaning implicit in each of his poems, but today it is already running low, perhaps less desirable Minangkabau culture is more or less maintained by the generation -young people today. "

Meanwhile, Arifni Netrirosa, researchers at the Department of Ethnomusicology USU, the site cimbuak.net see, that the Minangkabau, the development of pop music area today are very much into the world of pop music that evolved in general in Indonesia, even with fast has utilized trait- characteristic trend of world music. For example we can see in the Minangkabau region of pop music is quite popular as the song Brassieres Barendo derived from traditional vocal arts sang to the accompaniment Saluang Minangkabau (end-blown flute) with the technique of blowing circulation. Even not lose again in the pop tunes that leave areas of music and song tradition has been further developed to include elements of 'rap' into a musical composition. It will inevitably have to be recognized that these songs with a load of music quite popular like the one above were sold in West Sumatra and its vicinity.

Observing the way, then the question arises, what is it exactly with the development of the song Minang it. Perhaps, we also need to seat what is meant by the song itself Minang. Because, everyone has a definition of each of these. Yeni Indra, who is also a lecturer in the Department of PG-FIP UNP early childhood, provide a clear definition about the song Minang. "Based on the grammar, the official definition Minang songs that we did not meet. Minang song is simply a term for the songs that come from the area or the Minangkabau of West Sumatra. Because of the influence of dialects, often referred to as the Minangkabau song song Minang only. From this we know that the actual song Minang it is not the sort of folk songs (folk song). Usually called Minang songs are folk songs are used commercially. "

Tuo milestone pop Minang
Referring to these definitions, the commercialization of the development of Minang song can not be separated from the history of the emergence of creative artists in popularizing songs Minang. Frans Sartono (kompas.com), explains, the era from 1950 to 1960's, restrictions on Western pop music playing on the radio impact on the creativity of local artists to speak the local language in song lyrics. Orchestra personnel Gumarang who popularized the song is Urang crew Minang language, such as Ayam Den Laruik Lapeh to Sanjo. They accommodate the elements of Latin music which was much favored in this country. Oslan Hussein, the Minang language anyway, popularized songs like Away in Mato Kampuang nan, and is known through Elly Kasim Bareh Solok.
With a more complete search of the history of the emergence of the songs Minang in synergy with other music, Theodore KS, author of the music industry issues (kompas.com) describes, that during the 50's come the musical groups that composed the songs Minang with a color other music, like classical music. Gumarang orchestra with Latin rhythms and Cadet Ria rock'n'roll to his songs and his music. While the guitar sound a la Nuskan Saluang Sharif can still be enjoyed up to now with his Tjari Beetle. They-they are a band that is considered a milestone in popularizing tuo Minang pop songs at the time. The birth of the musical groups are supported by the success of the orchestra Comforter Be the first standing and well known in the hummed tunes Minang in RRI Jakarta. The songs Comforter Heart broadcast radio, among others, Kaparinyo, Paddle Palinggam, Fate Sawahlunto, and Sempaya. Influence of Latin songs, such as Melody d'Amour, Besame Mucho, Cachito, Maria Elena, and Quizas, which are popular not capable ignored.

Follow a success Gumarang, beetles Tjari was no less famous. Menakhodai Nuskan Sharif is a musical group founded in 1961. Although admired Gumarang, Nuskan trying to make different music. If Gumarang dominant with piano, guitar melodies Beetle Tjari forward. This is where Nuskan show prowess as a guitar player, not only in terms of technique, but also in terms of sound exploration. Excerpts of his guitar sound reminds the listener will Saluang, bamboo flute typical Minang. These characteristics do not have both of them until now.
Entered the recording studio LPs (PH), the first album Tjari Beetle contains Asmara Dara songs sung by Elly Kasim, Darek Randang sung Nuskan Sharif, Taratak Appliances (Elly Kasim and his friends), Mak Tatji (Nuskan Sharif) , Apo Dajo (Elly Kasim and his friends), ideals Joy (Elly Kasim and Nuskan Sharif), Mari Cha Cha Cha (Nuskan Sharif), girl Tuladan (Nuskan Sharif), beetles Djanti (Elly Kasim), Langkisau (Nuskan Sharif and et al), Kureta Solok (Nusikan Sharif and his friends), and Oi, the Moon (Elly Kasim and his friends).
In addition Tjari Gumarang and beetles, also not be forgotten that reinforce the orchestra Cadet Ria rock'n'roll rhythms in songs Minang.

A thousand songs a year
Looking at the early development of pop songs Minang this, it is only natural that some fans are concerned and disappointed Minang song by song Minang now. One of the factors that cause the songs Minang past can perch longer in the ear the listener is not much the recording industry, especially during those in the 50's are. Within a year a handful of outstanding tracks. Not to mention that during the recording LPs (PH) with a gramophone as a medium. Even to perform at the RRI just have to go through a rigorous selection. "In those days it was not easy for a singer or a group to perform at the RRI. They must pass a test in front of a jury, as befits a race participant, "wrote Theodore.

Compared with the range of the 90s until today, the songs are produced Minang like hotcakes. We can see, there are thousands of songs and hundreds of artists in the market Minang songs from tapes to VCD. "Now there are a thousand more songs recorded in a year" Agus said Taher, creator and producer of the song Minang.

Looking at these conditions, Agus was not dismissed, songwriter create the music that was developing. However, do not leave Minangkabaunya identity. "I have been using manual melody like the music of today's youth," he said.

Here it should be remembered that, art and culture is not static or fixed, but dynamic or growing. Art was developed along with the development of society. Minangkabau adat also set this up, that is, customary or traditional nan babuhua snapped a megikuti the times. So, the idea that the songs Minang now not qualified or who say now is not the song Minang song, should also use the same glasses in view Minang song now. "Unfortunately when we went along memfonis too early. Once again, the fact that currently there is not irrefutable, it is clear that the song Minang the fly and the fact that the song Minang is also the largest production in Indonesia, "commentator Sexri Budiman, the creator and the observer Minang song.
