BAHASA DAN MUSIK SEBAGAI MODAL BUDAYA: STUDI KASUS TA’BU PENA PADA MASYARAKAT DAWAN DI NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR
Keywords:
Cultural capital, Dawan community, Ta’bu PenaAbstract
This qualitative cultural case study explores the integration of language and music as cultural capital within the Ta’bu Pena practice (corn-binding ritual) among the Dawan people of East Nusa Tenggara. The primary focus addresses how cultural values are reflected in work song lyrics (boenmepu) and offers strategic recommendations for community development and education. Data were gathered through observation, lyric transcription, and pentatonic melodic structure analysis. Findings reveal that boenmepu serves not merely to boost agricultural morale, but also to express reverence for corn as a symbol of prosperity, facilitate spiritual communication with ancestors (Uis Neno), and convey communal solidarity. Utilizing Ta’bu Pena as cultural capital demonstrates strong potential to elevate the Cultural Development Index (IPK) and stimulate local culture-based economies. This study recommends integrating Ta’bu Pena into local educational curricula and organizing sustainable cultural festivals to safeguard the Dawan community’s collective identity.
