Abstract

This research is entitled "The Tradition of Gondang Sabangunan and Adat Ceremony of the Toba Batak People in Samosir District: Challenge, Hope and Opportunity." This research uses qualitative method, involving techniques of interviewing, an in-depth observation, direct field research, recordings of the gondang music performances and ulaon adat (adat ceremony) of the Toba Batak. In the discussion it applies the theory of acculturation and traditional ceremony. The results of the research show that nowadays the gondang sabangunan musicians in Samosir region become less in quantity. This is caused by the changing era of the more functional 'keyboard music' in the culture of the society nowadays. On the other hand, there is a desire among artists and members of the Batak Toba community to maintain gondang sabangunan in various social functions, due to the expectation from the perspective of cultural identity. The opportunitiy for that is enormous, should it be accompanied by the awareness of the importance of continuing the cultural heritage in the space and time gone through.
