Local Wisdom of Indramayu Community in Transforming Islamic Values through Bujanggaan Tradition

“…At the same time, the oral traditions of Indramayu that still exist today are maca sheikh/manaqiban, tahlilan/marhabanan, nadzoman (praises before prayer), mantra (jangjawokan), wayang golek cepak, wayang kulit, brai, genjring umbul/rudatan, bobotan (ruwat) and bujanggaan (macapatan). 1 One part of the tradition that is unique and interesting to study is the macapatan tradition which is usually better known as "bujanggaan" and its composer is called "Pujangga".
