Culture of indigenous relations in the social manners of persons of different
sex.
Here's a list of culture on the island of Bali
which include custom homes Bali, Balinese music, clothing and related areas of
art and culture of Bali.
Clothes in Bali
Clothing from Bali has many variations, although
sometimes it seems as fleeting. In every area in Bali has its
own characteristics and there is also a symbolic ornament, based on activity /
ritual, sex and age of users. By looking at the above can be
seen how the social status and economic status of a person in Bali is by
knowing the type of style of clothing and jewelry ornaments what she wore.
Traditional Balinese
art
Balinese arts such as dance culture in general
is divided into three categories, including the trustee or the art of sacred
dance performances, dance performances bebali or normally to the ceremony and
also often on display for visitors to come to Bali and balih-balihan or art nature of dance for
entertainment. One type of dance art in Balidan
very popular for tourists is the Kecak Dance.
BALI: Island of art, music and entrancing dance
Music seems inescapable in Bali. Not
that you want to flee from it.
In the more discreet bars and
restaurants, around the hotel pool or in shops and village temples,
somewhere in the background is a low and unobtrusive sound which sits
between the hypnotic sound of the traditional Indonesian gamelan and
the vacuous ambient trickle of New Age music.It almost requires you to slow your
metabolism and relax.
Of course, if you want pounding
Indonesian rock – bands like metalheads Jamrud, J-Rocks who
recorded in Abbey Road and
you can certainly find them in local CD stores.
But for the casually relaxed, this
small island offers fascinating music and the beguiling dance which
often accompanies it.
There are no shortage of albums with
titles which offer variations on albums with titles like Balinese Massage, Balinese
Lounge, Balinese Spa but the authentic music of gamelan
orchestras of tuned percussion isn't too hard to find.
A town about 90 minutes from the popular clubs and bars of Kuta
and Legian, where a number of gamelan orchestras presented music and
dance programmes.
Balinese gamelans – ensembles using
gongs, bells, percussion and what might be called exotic equivalents
of vibraphones, some made of metal and others of bamboo – predate
the influence of Islam in other parts of Indonesia.
As Michael Tenzer says in his book Balinese
Music, when the Hindu courts fled to the island in the 16th
century they “laid the foundation for the flowering of all Balinese
arts. From that time until the arrival of the Dutch colonists some
four hundred years later, Balinese music blossomed in splendid
isolation, producing a variety of forms, ensembles and styles
remarkable in their diversity”.
Today there are ensembles which deliver
a fiery contemporary style and others much more sedate and courtly.
Prominent in Ubud is the Sadha Budaya
Troupe whose high-profile performances are in an open-sided hall
opposite the Ubud Palace at the central intersection of Monkey Temple
Road and Ubud Main Road.
This troupe – dancers, some as
mythical figures and characters from the Ramayana and
Mahabharata – perform to the clanging sound of metal gamelan
which can be as strident as it is seductive. A more pleasant and
relaxing sound comes from tuned bamboo.
Balinese Traditional
House
Balinese Traditional House types should be in
accordance with the rules of Asta Kosala Kosali like Feng Shui in Chinese
Culture.
Balinese people have a dynamic
philosophy of life will be achieved when the realization of a harmonious
relationship between aspects Pawongan, Palemahan and Parahyangan. So that in the construction of a
house should pay attention to these aspects or commonly called the Balinese
with Tri Hita Karana. Pawongan mean the occupants of
the house. While Palemahan means there must
be good relations between residents and the environment.
Almost every building or
traditional architecture of Bali there is always filled with ornate carvings,
tools, and the color. It turned out to contain a
certain sense of beauty as an expression of symbols and communication delivery.
Social Conflict and Community Integration
Indigenous and Cultural Conflict of Interest Scented
Economy
Phenomena
that developed in the Balinese people a year through the high intensity of
social conflict in society, and began questioning the authority of traditional
institutions (traditional) in addressing social problems in Balinese culture. There are many irregularities,
the uncertainties that characterize various aspects of community life as a
result of lack of power control. Hindu community in Bali now
apparently being dizzy or are in transition. The phenomenon indicates that
the Balinese people are moving from an agrarian society with expressive culture
toward community service with a progressive culture. People who are in transition
from traditional to modern, often raising the issue is no less complicated.
New values from
the outside world has penetrated into the life of the Balinese people, so that
the traditional value that identifies the people of Bali, is now troubled with
modern values, which allows the contradiction can even result in conflict.
When examined conflicts that
occur in society, according to Dr. I Wayan Budi Utama, M.Sc., in
fact caused by a conflict of interest groups that smelled of economic problems.
A shift from communal to a
public mindset that individual communities tend to lead to the use of capital
as social norms. Village boundaries are just a
big tree or a small trench was not previously a problem, but when the boundary
region has built facilities for economic activity then this could be a trigger
for conflict. Expansion of the traditional
village is growing in number each year to allegedly triggered by the presence
of the traditional village development funds are disbursed by the authorities. Distribution of power and the''
cake'' uneven development can be a trigger for conflict.
Physically Balinese modern look
but the nature of mind and mental life is still traditional. Old traditions have not been
abandoned, while the modern mindset has not mastered, or in other words the
people standing on one foot under the theological stage while the other foot on
stage positifis.
I and my friends out of the flow
rate to and from the Balinese people has led to the Bali properties are no
longer experiencing changes to its original, although the change could be a
significant advancement in the field of culture. In line with the flow of
communication, elements of Balinese culture, then, not only to adjust, but can
easily be found in various places outside the geographical boundaries of Bali. In the process of integration
into the global order, the culture and are no longer bound by physical boundaries
are rigid due to the bond space is deterministic. Therefore the symbolic
expression of Balinese culture is not necessarily a statement of a cosmology or
the same value, since the center began to form in polisentrik orientation, no
longer concentrated at one point. These symptoms indicate that
there is a deconstruction of the traditional power relations within a society.
In such situations, according to
Nyoman Sirtha, Pakraman as a unity of indigenous peoples have the right and
authority to organize, manage and resolve the various problems of life of
citizens. Therefore, Pakraman which is
customary institutions are empowered and preserved, and developed as a
container for residents to carry out various activities of life.
Empowerment of indigenous institutions
and their existence is so that conditions can be sustainable and more solid, so
it becomes a place for community members to perform various activities in
accordance with the rate of progress and development of the times. Preservation of traditional institutions
working to preserve and maintain cultural values, especially ethical values,
morals, and manners which is the core of traditional institutions in order to
remain sustainable existence.
Fachrudin view, awig-awig that
guide behavior for the citizens, the substance must comply with the times. Prajuru village in village
governance should act firmly, and consistently implement-awig awig. Therefore, prajuru village has
an important role in nurturing its citizens to bring order and peace of
society.
Dance Arts
In
the field of dance, Bali Island has a well-known dance by the public as Kecak
Dance which has a special feature in which the presentation of this dance has a
large number of dancers and characters naked just wearing pants with dililiti

of this dance was to become famous as well as typical Balinese culture.
Years
Kecak dance is preserved by the Balinese people from several generations,
although a wide range of modern dance from outside the local dance coloring
also as a means of development. It
is therefore not surprising in the land which is also known by the name of the
island, a lot of dance as a tool aimed at the development of dance as well as a
means of appreciation for the Balinese people themselves, especially the
provision of training from an early age for children to love dance Bali own. But
the Balinese love to always preserve the cultural wealth of already attached,
so that it will continue to grown dance developed from generation to generation
despite the popular culture through a variety of trinkets western civilization

Another
dance that is not less great in the perception of the tourists or ordinary
people say, must know well the barong dance. An
attractive dance by dancers with motion visuals are so flexible in providing
the movement with the dancers swaying tucked in view of this

dance is a dance depiction of the endless battle between good and evil with
visualization visualization Barong Rangda. At
this dance also included some of his supporters by giving the scene stabbing a
dagger into the chest of each participant, it's has compared Ailangga troops who
have been hypnotized by the magic ditong by Barong Rangda until his forces were
immune to stab a dagger aimed at him. This
staging is full of holy and sacred ritual, therefore, before staging a staging
group leader gives a splash of holy water taken from the great mountain, and
then accompanied by the provision of offerings. This
notion asserts that the nature of good and evil nature is always close to human
life, therefore life is always tinged with a man who has good qualities and
some are having the nature of evil, and the endless journey has always fought
to the death line separating them. A

and left and in places by hand carrying jars with typical offerings on coconut

accompanied by a roar as if describing a dance pendet of the gamelan .
The
dance was originally a dance is sacred because it is aimed at welcoming the
gods down to earth, so that the play only in the temple is a place in the
Balinese Hindu prayers. Pendet
dance offerings are embodied in the form of ritual dance so here kesakralannya
value is still maintained. Along
with the times of the Balinese artists to modify it into a dance of welcome
ceremony, but does not reduce the value of kesakralannya. On
the island of Bali is also known as Mask Dance is a dance where the dancers use
masks. This

different character. the
