This heart is happy to continue to have mercy on your mother and father
THAT'S a short excerpt from the lyrics of a children's song in Osing written by a man whose full name is Yuli Bawor, born in Jogjakarta., 17 July 1967. This song is dedicated to children, as a form of gratitude to their parents. However, this long-haired man is better known to his friends as Bawor. At the moment, Bawor lives on Jalan Tojo, Temuguruh Village, Sempu Kecamatan District, Banyuwangi. Two years ago, when he returned home to Banyuwangi, he said he was very concerned.
Because, There are lots of Osing songs that are not suitable for children. It was from this feeling of concern that he was inspired to create the song Osing, whose lyrics might be very suitable for children to sing. The goal is to ensure that Osing's songs remain sustainable, also so that children who are also the next generation of this nation continue to love their regional culture through Osing songs.
” Yes, When I returned to Banyuwangenan I was very concerned, Many Banyuwangi songs whose lyrics mean distance and are not suitable for children to sing are instead sung by children- child.” explained this former member of Sangat Bambu in Jogyakarta. To date, he has composed as many songs in Osing language 25 with. Eleven of them are songs with children's themes, he has created.
Several children's songs in the Osing language have been created, such as Banyuwangi, Behind the scenes, I Love You Mom, Drugs, A little now, Dear Teacher, Mercy Mom and Dad. Made by the Prince, Fresh Sane, Don't leave Isun and Ketapang Banyuwangi. When asked whether there were no difficulties in creating songs in Using language. This man from Jogyakarta admitted that he had no difficulty in creating songs in the Osing language, Understandably, he is originally from Yogyakarta and speaks Javanese.
Wungkulan has a wife who is originally from Banyuwangi. If you know this Osing language since 5 last year. Before knowing my wife, I also already know the Osing language, but since meeting my wife, who is originally from Banyuwangi, I understand the Osing language better. Really like the Osing language accent, But, Moreover, the majority of people in their wife's house speak Osing so there is no difficulty in getting to know the Osing language more clearly Bawor.
With the current environment where the majority of the residents use the Osing language, it is also a plus for Bawor in creating a song in the Osing language.. For example, song with the title Welas Mother and Father, Bawor said he composed the song according to his wife's environmental conditions. Many residents there have a low economy but can meet the needs of the children in every way.
The parents in my wife's home environment live a simple life. but everything can be fulfilled, especially the needs of their children. That became my inspiration to create the song Welas Emak Ian Bapak, The song is a form of gratitude from children to their parents, said Bawor. In creating Osing language songs. Bawor, who is originally from Yogyakarta, also often asks his wife, who is originally from Banyuwangi, for guidance regarding writing song lyrics in Osing..
Apart from the wife, he also frequently interacts with several Osing language institutions in composing a song. “Banyuwangi culture man Mr. Hasnan Singodimayan also knows the poems of my song. He really appreciated my songs for children. He said this is a good start for children,” Bawor said. To attract the interest of today's children so they can love Osing songs, he arranges his songs with traditional music mixed with modern music.
Bawor did this so that the musical rhythm in Bawor's songs was not too monotonous. ” I give a modern touch so that the rhythm of the music is not too monotonous, but also does not abandon typical Banyuwangi music. Like the song with the title Konco Apik, I gave the music a touch of kempul drums and angklung too,” said the father of five children. hope, to music artists in Banyuwangi not to announce their personal financial profits.
However, musicians continue to put forward good work for all levels of society to hear. Yes, I hope that musicians make lots of songs that are educational too. There are also a lot of Osing songs now that have pornographic lyrics which are also sung by children, in fact, those songs are also played a lot everywhere. As an artist, it is very sad to see this, This is clearly very chaotic for the personalities of children in Banyuwangi and very uneducative,” Bawor knows.
To the government he also hopes to carry out an action, for example a sweeping of Osing's pornographic songs which are sold freely in the market. ” The government should carry out sweeps in record stores for songs that smell pornographic so that they can be confiscated and destroyed if necessary.! please Bawor. The obstacle that Bawor is currently facing is only financial problems to publish his works so that they can be enjoyed by the public.
He is also very open to anyone who is willing to be his partner in terms of publishing his songs. What is clear is my personal hope, The children's songs that I created could become an album and later be enjoyed by a wide audience in Banyuwangi. If anyone wants to collaborate, I am very wide open to it. Because this is also a form of my concern for the current lack of Osing children's songs in Banyuwangi,” he concluded. (radar)
