Seni pertunjukan tradisional memuat beragam unsur kearifan lokal masing-masing etnisnya. Demikian juga dengan seni pertunjukan tradisional randai dari Minangkabau. Falsafah adat dan agama yang dianut masyarakat Minangkabau terhimpun dalam randai. Namun, sampai saat ini kajian terhadap randai Minangkabau masih dominan pada aspek etika dan estetika sebagai seni tari dan seni pertunjukan teater. Kajian kearifan lokal budaya Minangkabau dalam randai masih sedikit dieksplorasi. Dilatarbelakangi hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan menggali dan menganalisis unsur-unsur kearifan lokal budaya Minangkabau yang terdapat dalam seni pertunjukan tradisional randai. Proses penelusuran literatur dan penelaahan kembali berbagai hasil kajian randai, baik dari aspek estetika gerak dan tari, musik, gerak silat, lakon, dan naskah cerita menghasilkan simpulan bahwa randai Minangkabau memuat ragam unsur kearifan lokal yang bersumber dari ajaran agama, adat, serta falsafah alam. Temuan ini membuktikan bahwa masyarakat Minangkabau adalah masyarakat yang kaya akan seni tradisi dan berkehidupan dilandasi oleh ajaran agama, adat, serta kepedulian terhadap alam semesta.
