Analysis of the Briak-Briuk Sepanggul (BBS) concept in the practice of Balinese music by Penabuh
Main Article Content
Abstract
Briak-Briuk Sepanggul (BBS) is a concept of traditional Balinese music that used to be a reference for Penabuh. Today, a generation of young Penabuh no longer use it, likely due to a shift in social interaction from a collective work culture to a more individualistic tendency. In the past, the Penabuh were active in various social activities. This activity strengthens social ties and fosters a spirit of togetherness in music. In contrast, today's generation of Penabuh tends not to engage in such social interactions, so many are unaware of the importance of BBS in music practice. It impacts the decline in performance quality shown because it does not display the dynamics, sound integrity, sound balance, cohesiveness, and cohesiveness of expression characteristic of implementing BBS. This research aims to describe applying the BBS concept in Balinese music as a foothold for building quality music practices based on the value of togetherness. Three Balinese music ensembles that use the BBS concept are the subject of this case study, which gathers data through literature reviews, interviews, and in-depth interpretive analysis. This study demonstrates that the BBS philosophy is based on humanist principles like equality, cooperation, and unity. This value is applied in non-art and artistic activities, which influence each other. Humanist values in non-art activities have been proven to improve art quality, namely Balinese music performances. These findings strengthen the study of the sociology of karawitan and make an important contribution to the development of Balinese karawitan science.
