Campursari is a regional music genre and Didi Kempot is one of the leading singers with songs about love. Initially, the song of Didi Kempot was only in demand by middle and lower class Javanese. Since 2019, his songs are loved by mellenial people, and even become one of the proud music. For this reason, this research aims to describe the response and evaluation of mellenial songs on Didi Kempot's songs, the moral messages conveyed, and the reasons young people like campursari music and its impact on Javanese insights. The population in this study was the fan base of Sobat Ambyar at Rumah Blogger Indonesia Solo. The number of members is very large but is not registered because it is only active in social media and there is never a formal "Kopdar" meeting. While the sample is taken from the management and members who are willing to become informants by considering the level of education, age, and residence. Data was collected through interviews with key informants, direct observations at the Didi Kempot concert, and social media. The data is then analyzed by considering three domains of appreciation (art feeling, art valuing, and art emphasizing) with reinforced opinion of related experts; the function of the song as a communication medium, the message in the song lyrics, the stimulation of song lyrics to the human brain, music as a picture of the reality of the world around him, the genre of music, and the theory of habits in language. The results show that: a. Didi Kempot's song conveys messages about the realities of life, emotional experiences, language preservation, and a picture of the world around him, b. Campursari as a new alternative music genre that is interested in millennials, c. the lyrics are easily memorized and understood with Koplo rhythms, and have a lot of joy in a few songs, and d. influences the appreciation of millennial Javanese Javanese, while its influence on other ethnic mellineal needs further research. If viewed from the domain, then the reflection of emotional experiences, responses, and melllenial reasons to like the song Didi Kempot including domain art feeling; messages about the reality of life and the recognition of mellenial campursari as the genre of music entered the domain of art valuing, while the mention of God Father, music of the world picture, Javanese appreciation entered the domain of art emphazising. Keywords: Didi Kempot, campursari, appreciation ,music, and millennial 1 Pendahuluan Sebagai makhluk sosial, manusia berinteraksi dengan orang lain, terlebih dalam masyarakat modern, manusia merasa bahwa selain mengatur dirinya, ia juga perlu mengatur lingkungan, memelihara ketertiban, mengelola dan mengontrolnya lewat serangkaian aktifitas yang dikenal dengan manajemen dan organisasi. Komunikasi yang baik bisa terjalin jika pesan yang disampaikan bisa diterima dan dipahami dengan baik. Jadi, dalam berkomunikasi yang efektif, pesan yang disampaikan harus dikemas sebaik mungkin agar tidak „kabur‟. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, diperlukan komunikasi yang baik untuk menjalin kerjasama di berbagai bidang agar tujuan atau misi yang direncanakan dapat terlaksana. Musik selain sebagai karya seni, juga sebagai media komunikasi yang berfungsi menyampaikan pesan dari penulisnya. Dia berfungsi penting dalam mengkomunikasikan peradaban manusia melalui kreatifitasnya. Dalam kajian ilmu komunikasi, musik termasuk dalam komunikasi massa, dimana proses penyampaian pesan kepada masyarakat dapat dilakukan melalui musik. Musik merupakan media yang efektif untuk menyampaikan pesan. Pencipta lagu atau penyanyi sebagai komunikator, lirik dan irama sebagai media dan pesan, dan masyarakat sebagai komunikannya. Dalam konteks penggunaannya (used) dapat dicontohkan pada lagu menidurkan anak atau dodoi, nandung dan lullaby. Dalam konteks ini, musik sebagai media mengekspresikan kecintaan orang tua dengan cara menghibur anaknya melalui nyanyian, agar mereka dapat tidur. 2 Terlepas berhasil atau tidak, di sini terjadi suatu proses “perekayasaan” dengan menggunakan media musik sebagai pengantarnya. (Armand, 2011). Selain itu sebagai media penyampaian pesan, musik juga menyampaikan penekanan perbedaan identitas kelokalan (ethnic identity) pada masyarakat yang heterogen. Campursari, misalnya sebagai gabungan musik dangdut dan keroncong, meskipun sering disebut musik rendahan tetapi realitanya menjadi kebanggaan masyarakat beretnis Jawa dari kalangan menengah ke bawah. Dari contoh ini dapat dilihat bahwa musik telah digunakan sebagai penyampai karakteristik dari masing-masing masyarakat yang menggunakannya dan sekaligus bisa dijadikan media komunikasi untuk menciptakan serta memelihara identitas kelokalan yang ada di setiap kelompok masyarakat tersebut. Dari sisi pengelompokannya terdapat beberapa genre diantaranya Dangdut, Jazz, Pop, Keroncong, Hip Hop, dan Rock. Salah satu genre musik yang saat ini didiskusikan adalah campursari, kombinasi antara musik dangdut dan keroncong, dan Didi Kempot adalah salah satu penyanyi campursari yang memiliki banyak penggemar. Didi Kempot sebetulnya sudah lama berkiprah di dunia musik sejak tahun 1984. Awalnya, lagu-lagunya yang terdapat unsur dangdut tersebut hanya diminati oleh etnis Jawa, kalangan menengah ke bawah. Setelah beberapa waktu sempat tidak terlihat di kalangan musik Indonesia, saat ini popularitas Didi Kempot kembali meningkat dan digandrungi oleh masyarakat terutama anak muda, yang sebelumnya beken dengan musik pop dan rock. Bahkan, lahirnya para pecinta dan pengagum Didi kempot yang menamakan diri komunitas Sobat Ambyar, 3 sebuah fanbase Didi Kempot yang berisikan anak – anak muda. Ada sebutan “Sad Boys” untuk penggemar laki-laki, dan “Sad Girls” untuk para penggemar perempuan. Sobat ambyar tersebut adalah subyek yang menghargai terhadap karya- karya Didi Kempot dalam bentuk apresiasi, sesuai pendapat Utomo (2014: dalam Sa‟dullah 2016:5). Apresiasi seni merupakan suatu proses sadar yang dilakukan kaum mellineal dalam menghadapi dan memahami karya seni, dalam penelitian ini adalah lagu-lagu Didi Kempot (Bahari, 2008: 148). Perumusan Masalah Jadi permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah adanya pertanyaan terhadap realita tentang besarnya apresiasi kaum mellineal terhadap lagu – lagu Didi Kempot yang dinyatakan dalam rumusan masalah berikut: 1. Bagaimana pesan lirik lagu Didi Kempot sehingga mampu meningkatkan apresiasi musik Jawa (Campursari) pada generasi millennial? 2. Bagaimana penilaian dan tanggapan generasi millennial terhadap lagu – lagu Didi Kempot? 3. Kenapa generasi millennial menyukai musik Jawa (Campursari)? 4. Apakah lagu Didi Kempot dapat menumbuhkan apresiasi penggunaan bahasa Jawa bagi generasi millennial Tinjauan Pustaka 1. Lirik lagu sebagai pesan komunikasi 4 Komunikasi berasal dari bahasa latin communis, yang berarti „membangun kebersamaan antara dua orang atau lebih‟. Suatu percakapan dapat dikatakan komunikatif apabila komunikan dan komunikator saling mengerti bahasa dan makna yang dipercakapkan. Agar dimengerti, bahasanya harus informatif dan presuasif untuk membuat orang lain paham atau yakin, dan mau melakukan kehendaknya (Onong,2007). Terdapat beberapa definisi komunikasi yang disampaikan ahli, peneliti memilih satu definisi komprehensif yang disampaikan Harold Lasswell (Mulyana, 2008) bahwa komunikasi memberikan jawaban tentang who (siapa), says what (berkata apa), in which channel (dengan saluran apa), to whom (kepada siapa), with what effect (dengan pengaruh bagaimana) (Mulyana,2008). Berdasarkan definisi Lasswell, dapat diturunkan lima unsur komunikasi yang saling bergantung, yaitu: source, pihak yang berinisiatif (individu, kelompok, organisasi, perusahaan bahkan negara); pesan, yaitu apa yang dikomunikasikan; media, yaitu alat yang digunakan untuk menyampaikan pesan; penerima pesan, dan efek, yaitu apa yang terjadi pada penerima. Dari prosesnya, komunikasi adalah penyampaian pikiran atau perasaan (pesan) dari komunikator kepada komunikan, dapat berupa gagasan, informasi, opini atau juga keyakinan, kepastian, keragu-raguan, kekhawatiran, kemarahan, keberanian, dan kegairahan. Lirik lagu adalah ekspresi tentang sesuatu yang dilihat, didengar dan dialami, dalam rangkaian kata bernada dan bermakna, penyusunannya diperoleh dari berbagai inspirasi pengalaman hidup sehari-hari (Setiawan, 2020). 5 Dalam bukunya “Secrets of Songwriting”, Profesor Gary Ewer menulis: A good lyric is usually one that says what it needs to in the most succinct way. The importance of a weighty lyrics, though, depends on the purpose of the song. There are individuals and groups that produce songs with deep, insightful lyrics that can profoundly impress an audience. There are other composers writing songs where the main purpose

    ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 12 August 2021 Digital Islam in Indonesia: The Shift of Ritual and Religiosity during Covid-19 Wahyudi Akmaliah and Ahmad Najib Burhani* Covid-19 has forced various Muslim groups to adopt digital platforms in their religious activities. Controversy, however, abounds regarding the online version of the Friday Prayer. In Islamic law, this ritual is wajib (mandatory) for male Muslims. In this picture, Muslims observe Covid-19 coronavirus social distancing measures during Friday prayers at Agung mosque in Bandung on 2 July 2021.

During the pandemic, some Muslim organisations and individual preachers have speeded up the use of such platforms as a way to communicate with people and to continue with religious practices among the umma. • Among religious rituals that have shifted online are the virtual tahlil (praying and remembering dead person), silaturahim (visiting each other) during Eid al-Fitr, haul (commemorating the death of someone), and tarawih (night prayer during Ramadan).

    CHAPTER ONE RECOLLECTING RESONANCES: LISTENING TO AN INDONESIAN–DUTCH MUSICAL HERITAGE Bart Barendregt and Els Bogaerts A Mutual Heritage? Recent years have seen an increased involvement of music scholars not only with postcolonial theory, but more generally with the topics of mem- ory, heritage and the workings of nostalgia.1 Coinciding with such interests is a re-evaluation of historical materials of all sorts. Accounts of travellers, explorers, government officers or colonial linguists have been mined to understand the meaning of music in those colonial days; to show how the Other and his music have been presented and represented, and how such practices persist into the present. Researchers are increasingly aware of how music, and the performing arts more generally, may offer possibilities to study colonial life. Musical practices cast a light on the customs of both colonizer and the colonized, and the very fabric of everyday life in those days; matters that otherwise might be difficult to untie. Likewise, it offers a useful prism through which to study the often perverse mechanisms of control and suppression so typical of colonial society. Music’s meanings, in absence of ‘any denotative back-up’ need to be constantly established (Born and Hesmondhalgh 2000: 46) and thus may be instrumental in hiding the traces of representational violence; even more so than the literary or visual arts. Consequently, it seems a perfect tool for naturalizing such power imbalances. In respect of music’s workings within the colonial project, important insights have lately been derived from postcolonial theory, highlighting techniques and forms through which power is deployed in and through Western music, but also how such techniques and forms may, on the other hand, be 1 Especially the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the heydays of the imperial era, have proven to be a fertile ground for such postcolonial flavoured music studies.

  • Rising Influence of Ethnic Music in Indonesia: a Closer Look at Javanese Campursari
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 104 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 15 September 2020 Rising Influence of Ethnic Music in Indonesia: A Closer Look at Javanese Campursari Made Supriatma* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The death of a Javanese pop star may offer new ways of interpreting Javanese youths’ cultural taste. Didi Kempot, a singer and songwriter, had greatly enhanced their attraction to Campursari, a hybrid of Javanese keroncong (langgam) and dangdut music. • Indonesia’s pop music scene reflects class divisions within the nation—the national pop music (which is strongly influenced by Western elements) largely represents the taste of the middle and upper classes, while the most popular musical genre, dangdut, is embraced by the lower classes. • After the collapse of the New Order, regional and ethnic music became more influential within Indonesian pop culture. Campursari is part of this trend, particularly among the Javanese, the largest ethnic group in Indonesia. • The popularity of campursari reflects the search for a Javanese identity among the Javanese youth, even as they undergo social and cultural changes such as the rise of religious orthodoxy. • Ethnic pop music has also been made more accessible by new media such as YouTube. • While the political significance is still tentative, politicians who seek to enhance their appeal in the Javanese heartland would be mindful of the ongoing search for cultural authenticity among Javanese youths. * Made Supriatma is Visiting Fellow with ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 104 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION Javanese pop star Didi Kempot (born: Dionisius Prasetyo) died of a heart attack on May 5, 2020 in Surakarta, Central Java.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION in This Chapter Presents Research
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION In this chapter presents research background, research problem, research purposes, research significance, scope and limitation of study, and definition of key terms. 1.1 Research Background Music is an artistic expression and social action whose medium is sound sorted out in time. General meanings of music incorporate basic components, for example, pitch (which oversees song and congruity), beat (and its related ideas rhythm, meter, and explanation), elements (commotion and delicateness), and the sonic characteristics of timbre and surface (which are here and there named the "shading" of a melodic sound). An artist from America, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) has described music as “The universal language of mankind.” Another meaning of music also explained by Stevie Wonder (1977) in his song entitled Sir Duke, He says, “Music is a world within itself. It is a language we all understand.” Based on Luna (2016) teacher at DepEd Angeles City, there are two forms of music, vocal music and instrumental music. As I would see, the differences that very striking between two of them are; vocal music does not need media, only skill in handling sound. Whereas, instrumental music needs media to serve it, such as music books, passion, creativity, knowledge of human sound character, and imagination. Moreover, to compose an arrangement, the 1 music instrument must be guided by the knowledge of harmony and chord. The examples for both of them are choir for vocal music, and marching band for instrument music. Nevertheless, song is a combination between vocal and instrument music because there are vocal music and instruments such as guitar, bass, drum, and so on which are accompanying vocal music from the singer.
