Adaptasi dan Transformasi Lagu Adat dalam Liturgi Gereja Katolik di Manggarai Flores

Abstract

<jats:p>Manggarai, a community in Flores, Eastern Indonesia is known for its rich culture of folk songs with unique rhythm and lyrics. There are various types of folk songs for different purposes such as traditional chants, harvest celebrations, lamentation of the dead, war anthems, children songs, and other profane functions. When European missionaries started Catholic evangelization in Manggarai in the beginning of the 20th century, many of these folk songs were prohibited due to their use in rituals deemed idolatry. However, some missionaries saw the potential of folk songs for evangelization and empowered local artists to arrange Catholic liturgical songs based on these traditional songs. Eventually, many folk songs were adapted and transformed into Catholic hymns. This paper explores this irony through socio-historical research to understand the relationship dynamics between the Catholic Church and the Manggaraian culture. This research has discovered that there is a dialectical encounter between Catholicism and the Manggaraian culture which has shaped a unique identity of the Catholic Church in Manggarai</jats:p>

It is in line with the patriarchal and traditional concept of Manggarai culture.…”

“…The male family gives belis in materials (usually money, animals, and cloth). The woman's party as wife giver (anak rona) has a special status because this family gives women to the man's party as wife receiver (anak wina) to continue their offspring (Lon & Widyawati, 2016).…”

“…Negotiations aim to agree on the amount of belis, types, and stages of delivery of belis between the families of women and men. The negotiation process occurs at the bloating event when the man comes to the woman's party to officially propose to a woman as his fiancé (Lon & Widyawati, 2016). A spokesperson for the man's party negotiated based on a request for belis demanded by a spokesperson of the woman's party.…”

“…Lebih lanjut Helmon menjelaskan bahwa orang Manggarai selalu melindungi apa yang menjadi miliknya, selalu menjunjung persatuan dan kerja sama dan meyakini anggapan bahwa dengan persatuan maka segala bentuk kehancuran dapat terhindarkan (Helmon, 2018). Lon dan Widyawati dalam bukunya menjelaskan makna atau arti go'et "neka behas neho kena, neka koas neho kota" ialah bahwa perlunya menjaga persatuan dan kesatuan; seumpama pepatah dalam bahasa indonesia "bersatu kita teguh, bercerai kita runtuh" (Y. S. Lon & Widyawati, 2020). Dalam penelitian yang berbeda, Lon dan Widyawati menjelaskan bahwa ungkapan atau go'et "neka behas neho kena, neka koas neho kota" lahir dari kesadaran akan pentingnya nilai persatuan dan kesatuan dalam lingkup keluarga yang mencakup kesatuan tempat tinggal, kesatuan urusan ekonomi, kesatuan sumber makanan dan kesatuan asal usul (Lon & Widyawati, 2021).…”
