The Existence of Campursari Music Javanese Culture in Globalization Era

Abstract

Campursari music is the result of the popular culture of the Javanese people who are connected to each other, not only regarding the use of Javanese lyrics but also regarding conveying the noble values of Javanese culture in every meaning of the lyrics sung. The method used in this research is a systematic literature review, which is a type of approach that utilizes literature studies as various literary sources that are collected systematically to answer problematic topics from the themes raised in a study. This research aims to look at the changes that have occurred in campursari music from time to time. The results of the research obtained explain that in each era campursari music underwent changes from the old campursasi music which was close to gamelan playing and lyrics which carried Javanese values, then began to become more widely known in the Manthous era with several modifications and reached the peak of popularity through Didi Kempot in the era of massive globalization in 2019 with several changes in the presentation of his music so that he was able to form a group of fans with an extraordinary base, namely Sobat Ambyar. The response to the transformational changes in campursari music that has occurred from time to time has experienced pros and cons from several parties because this is related to the Javanese values contained in campursari music. It is quite a complicated cultural issue between maintaining campursari as local music that is close to Javanese noble values known as ancient campursari music, or providing space for campursari artists to explore more widely in order to keep campursari music still existing in the midst of development and globalization which has become increasingly massive has further introduced modern campursari music among the wider community.
