Mulai Lawan Bismillah: Religiosity of the Banjar People in the Banjar Songs Composed by Anang Ardiansyah

Abstract

Local folk songs are often only enjoyed by local people and, of course, only a few of these songs can become national songs. However, through the song called Paris Barantai composed by Anang Ardiansyah, the Banjar song can become a nationally recognized regional folk song. In addition, Anang Ardiansyah‘s other songs have a message or religious content that reflects the Islamic culture of the Banjar community. Therefore, this paper explores religious content of four songs composed by Anang Ardiansyah with the aim that the local folk songs are not only sung but reinforce the distribution of religious values and knowledge in relation to the Banjar culture. The results of this paper describe the religious practice of urang (people of) Banjar related to faith, prayer and shalawat in everyday life and the term haram menyarah (surrender is forbidden) as Banjar people's struggle doctrine depicted from the Banjar song composed by Anang Ardiansyah. Therefore, through these songs it becomes an important part of the efforts to strengthen the Banjar religious identity and religious value distribution will take place continuously.

Estetika Lagu Banjar Populer: Suatu Representasi Kultural, Pengalaman Eksistensial, dan Nilai Sosial Masyarakat Banjar

“…Ketika realitas dasar musikal lagu Banjar populer menunjuk pada ekspresi bunyi musikal serta lirik bahasa Banjar, maka nilai epistemologi lagu Banjar populer akan menunjuk pada realitas kebudayaan Banjar. Seperti pada citra religiositas masyarakat Banjar yang tertuang pada banyak lagu karya Anang Ardiansyah (Nasrullah, 2018), maupun aktivitas prosesi pernikahan adat, mata pencaharian dan permainan tradisional yang kerap menjadi materi dalam penciptaan lagu Banjar populer lainnya (Humaidi, 2016). Pengalaman eksistensial budaya sang pencipta/penyanyi (kebanyakan orang Banjar) serta pemusiknya, pun lirik bahasa Banjar, menjadi sumber pengetahuan sekaligus parameter kebenaran lagu Banjar populer.…”
