Abstract: This research aimed to describe the codes and their meanings that are used in the Saluang Ratok Suayan Anguih lyrics and the perception of Nagari Suayan community on Saluang Ratok Suayan Anguih. This research used descriptive qualitative method, while community perceptions were analyzed using simple statistics. The data of this study are the words in the lyrics of Saluang Ratok Suayan Anguih and responses of informants to questionnaire or interview. Based on data analysis, it is concluded that: First, there are three semiotic codes, namely denotation, connotation, and myth in the lyric. The semiotic codes are used to describe the suffering of people due the fire that hit their country. Second, the younger informants are unfamiliar with the Saluang Ratok Suayan Anguih, while the older ones are more familiar with it. It is because the fire event told in Saluang Ratok Suayan Anguih occurred long-long time ago and this storytelling is getting less and less performed. 1 INTRODUCTION saluangs are found in Nagari Suayan, one of which is saluang Ratok Suayan Anguih (in the next description Literature as a branch of art is an integral part of abbreviated with SRSA).

1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Kerajaan Koto Besar
BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Kerajaan Koto Besar diperkirakan telah ada sejak akhir abad ke-17 Masehi.1 Koto Besar tumbuh dan berkembang bersama daerah-daerah lain yang berada di bekas wilayah Kerajaan Melayu Dharmasraya (Swarnabumhi).2 Daerah-daerah ini merupakan kerajaan kecil yang bercorak Islam dan berafiliasi dengan Kerajaan Pagaruyung, seperti Pulau Punjung yang dikenal sebagai camin taruih (perpanjangan tangan) Pagaruyung untuk daerah Hiliran Batanghari, serta penguasa lokal di ranah cati nan tigo, yaitu Siguntur, Sitiung dan Padang Laweh.3 Koto Besar menjadi satu-satunya kerajaan di wilayah ini yang tidak berpusat di pinggiran Sungai Batanghari.4 Lokasi berdirinya kerajaan-kerajaan tersebut merupakan daerah rantau dalam konsep alam Minangkabau.5 Pepatah adat Minangkabau mengatakan, 1 Merujuk pada tulisan yang tercantum pada stempel peninggalan Kerajaan Koto Besar yang berangkakan tahun 1697 Masehi. 2 Kerajaan Melayu Dharmasraya (Swarnabumhi) adalah sebuah kerajaan yang bercorak Hindu Buddha dan merupakan kelanjutan dari Kerajaan Melayu Jambi yang bermigrasi dari muara Sungai Batanghari. Kerajaan Melayu Dharmasraya hanya bertahan sekitar dua abad (1183 – 1347), setelah dipindahkan oleh Raja Adityawarman ke pedalaman Minangkabau di Saruaso.

Lareh Nan Bunta: Power Systems and the Concept of Musical Aesthetics in Talempong Basaua in Luhak 50 Koto Minangkabau
Harmonia: Journal of Arts Research and Education 18 (1) (2018), 107-116 p-ISSN 2541-1683|e-ISSN 2541-2426 Available online at http://journal.unnes.ac.id/nju/index.php/harmonia DOI: 10.15294/harmonia.v18i1.13280 Lareh Nan Bunta: Power Systems and The Concept of Musical Aesthetics in Talempong Basaua in Luhak 50 Koto Minangkabau Andar Indra Sastra, Wilma Sriwulan, Yon Hendri Institut Seni Indonesia Padangpanjang, Indonesia Received: February 6, 2018. Revised: April 23, 2018. Accepted: June 10, 2018 Abstract The goal of this article is to bring to light lareh nan bunta as a form of representation of the sys- tem of democracy – or power – developed by Dt. Nan Sakelap Dunia. The discussion in this paper uses a qualitative method which is backed up by quantitative data. The data was collected through participant observation, interviewing, discussion, and analysis. The analysis was car- ried out using a descriptive method using theoretical reasoning, with knowledge of aesthetics and art. The results of the research show that conceptually, talempong basaua is a musical reality which represents lareh nan bunta in Luhak 50 Koto Minangkabau. Lareh nan bunta is a synthesis of the influence of power – or dialectic – between lareh kotopiliang (autocracy) and lareh bodicaniago (democracy), each with its own system of leadership. The dualism in the autocratic and demo- cratic systems of power form a balancing power known as lareh nan bunta – a combination of all three existing conceptions. Lareh nan bunta is also reflected in the concept of musical aesthetics in talempong basaua in Luhak 50 Koto Minangkabau. Talempong basaua represents a combination of two musical concepts, namely talempong and the rhythms or irama of dendang (vocal music), which are combined to create a new genre. -

The Genealogy of Muslim Radicalism in Indonesia A
The Genealogy of Muslim Radicalism in Indonesia THE GENEALOGY OF MUSLIM RADICALISM IN INDONESIA A Study of the Roots and Characteristics of the Padri Movement Abd A’la IAIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, Indonesia Abstract: This paper will trace the roots of religious radicalism in Indonesia with the Padri movement as the case in point. It argues that the history of the Padri movement is complex and multifaceted. Nevertheless, it seems to be clear that the Padri movement was in many ways a reincarnation of its counterpart in the Arabian Peninsula, the Wahhabi> > movement, even though it was not a perfect replica of the latter. While the two shared some similarities, they were also quite different in other respects. The historical passage of the Padris was therefore not the same as that of the Wahhabi> s.> Each movement had its own dimensions and peculiarities according to its particular context and setting. Despite these differences, both were united by the same objective; they were radical in their determination to establish what they considered the purest version of Islam, and both manipulated religious symbols in pursuit of their political agendas. Keywords: Padri movement, fundamentalism, radicalism, Minangkabau, Wahhabism.> Introduction Almost all historians agree that Islam in the Malay Archipelago – a large part of which subsequently became known as Indonesia – was disseminated in a peaceful process. The people of the archipelago accepted the religion of Islam wholeheartedly without any pressure or compulsion. To a certain extent, these people even treated Islam as belonging to their own culture, seeing striking similarities between the new religion and existing local traditions. -

Negeri Sembilan: Rantau Minangkabau Di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu
HISTORIA: Jurnal Pendidikan Sejarah, IX, 2 (Desember 2008) NEGERI SEMBILAN: RANTAU MINANGKABAU DI SEMENANJUNG TANAH MELAYU Rahilah Omar dan Nelmawarni ABSTRACT For a long time, the people of Minangkabaus have had strong inclination to leave their original village in search of new settlement besides seeking wealth. In the Minangkabau culture, this practice of leaving one’s home is known as merantau. This practice has caused a strong influence in terms of history, blood ties and cultural linkages especially between the Kingdom of Pagaruyung of Sumatra and Negeri Sembilan and in general the Minangkabaus. The existence of Negeri Sembilan began with the coming of the Minangkabaus perantau to the place. They explored the area and built settlements within these localities. Their roles as pioneer settlers and setting new localities are seen as one of the important aspects in the history of Negeri Sembilan. The Minangkabaus perantau did not only struggle to achieve a better living but had also successfully established a kingdom and instilled the Adat Pepatih as the cultural basis of Negeri Sembilan. Key words: the people of Minangkabaus, Minangkabau, the history of Negeri Sembilan. Rahilah Bt.

Madras, India. Trade Contacts with the Indonesian Archipelago: 6th to 14th Centuries E. Edwards McKinnon Sea routes from South India and Sri Lanka to the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and beyond appear to have been established by the beginning of the Christian era. Tangible evidence for such contacts appears in the form of Romano-Indian rouletted ware of the first or second centuries A.D. found in the Buni area of West Java (Walker & Santoso 1977) and, more recently, from controlled excavations at Sembiran on the north coast of Bali (Ardika 1989). An early bronze Buddha of Amaravati type from Sulawesi indicates possible connections with Sri Lanka by the c5. Evidence of Indianising influences, from Sanskrit inscriptions written in Tamil Grantha characters of the early/mid fifth century, appears in East Kalimantan and West Java. Monsoons: the crossing of the Oceans. The monsoon winds, which carried ships across the Indian Ocean, blow for six months of the year in one direction and for the other six in the opposite way. Although the changeover periods are somewhat squally, with unsteady winds, the monsoons themselves provide favorable conditions to blow ships from Arabia to China and back. From the end of October to January or February, the northeast monsoon carried ships from Java and Sumatra to Sri Lanka and South India in relatively fine weather.
