Music 8 Music of Southeast Asian: Burung Kakatua
Stories from religious texts—such as the Rāmāyaṇa, the Mahābhārata, the Qurʾ ān, or the
Bible—often became songs that were sung in either the local or the imported language;
these songs, in turn, popularized the new beliefs. Some songs that blended the old and the
new had particular powers; in Java, for example, certain songs could be sung to stop heavy
rains, tame crocodiles, or to exorcise malevolent spirits. In Sumatra, a shaman trained in
black-and-white magic could use eleven different grades of song to entice and capture
renegade tigers that had trespassed onto human lands.
BURUNG KAKATUA
Burung Kakatua is a traditional Indonesian Folk Song. It comes from the Ambon in the
Moluccas but has spread found in other parts of the Indonesian Archipelago and beyond.
Burung Kakatua is about a cockatoo (kakatua) and the village grandmother who listens to
cocka-too singing.
RASA SAYANG
Rasa Sayang, literally "loving feeling is a folk song in Malay language. It is from Maluku,
Indonesia, and popular in Malaysia, Singapore and Philip-pines. The basis of Rasa Sayang is
similar to Dondang Sayang and other Malay folk songs, which take their form from the
pantun, a traditional ethnic Malay poetic form.
Some people in Indonesia have claimed that the song originated in the Maluku Islands but
such claims are disputed, as the standard Malay language itself and the tradition of pantun
exchange are unknown to the Maluku Islands. Some of the Indonesians and Malaysians
have once fought because of this.
However, in the end the Malaysian minister recognized the Rasa Sayang as an Indonesian
folk song.
