REOG


REOG
Not yet known for certain what is meant by the term "Reog" and where they originate and who first established arts "reog". Is there only in the area alone or in Priangan lainnyapun areas are as Art Reog Ponorogo? The answer has not obtained clear information and no one has traced the history of this reog art journey.

However, the general public is widely known when TVRI reog art show Art Reog regularly played by the police with the perpetrators, among others "Mang Diman Cs" (gup BKAK). Or about year 1967 appears Reog Women association with the characters Mr. and Mrs. Emen Anah and the possibility emerged in the art reog lainyapun not only clearly recorded.

There is an opinion that the term ": reog" is short for Reorganization OGEL (OGEL arts, buffoonery and dance), there are unisex reog opinion that the term of keseniak reaction, or other opinion, that it comes from reog ugal-IGEL (because players move the limbs to dance with hilarious dance or as a joke). It is said khabarnya since the time of the guardians of this art was, and always played by the students. Until the year 1953 appears reog groups include groups led Wargi Single Reog Amin Pa Mihardja and leadership Ajendam Reog Group Pa Dase.

Like other art, art reogpun liked by the people, especially people in rural and small urban communities because they contain elements of entertainment and attractions drum rhythms (dogdog: Bahasa Sunda) who was beaten in a varied and combined with a funny dance and song lyrics full of social messages and religious.

Although art imported from the west but more abundant in the particular society reog still like art. Only the players and the organization increasingly difficult to be found and if there they were usually from the older generation. Pertunjukannyapun less and less because there is no or very lack of order gig.

Even when the rare entertainment there Kemerdekaanpun anniversary committee reog because menjadualkan arts community and more to like dangdut band Westernized.

Arts reog usually played by four people with the structure; a puppeteer, controlling the game, a representative puppeteer, and two other people as servants.

Old game ranges from one to one and a half hours and for pengirinng the songs as a distraction or a complement is the drummer waditra with equipment such as two saron, drum, fiddle, goong, dllnya xylophone.

At current developments one might decrease quality reog art because the players are too old buffoon dogdognya while playing only briefly, so the allusion appears in Bahasa Sunda Cul dogdog live IGEL, meaning dogdognya left (not played) IGEL (ibing and melawaknya) which precedence.

Although already sidelined, there are still many people who hoped that the mass media such as; TVRI, and the private television stations showing the kinds of art like this reog.
Finally, the Government held a festival Bandung Bandung Reog as that followed by around 32 groups and marks are still there in the neighborhood arts community Reog Sunda especially in Bandung. Certainly in the area there lainyapun just the absence of a coordinating or absence of such a meeting led festivals they do not appear or they just play in the neighborhood.

The words come from Wad puppet of Hyang, meaning ¿¿ancestor, but others argue that the word ¿¿shadows. As for who argued that the puppet is from Indian country may be seen from the origin story is taken from the Ramayana story and Mahabrata (derived from the Hindu Scriptures). But then the stories were modified and adapted to the culture engineered in Java.

In West Java, wayang art called Wayang Golek ¿¿. That is, run the puppet art using puppets made of wood, almost like the face and body of human figure puppet picture. There are four kinds of figure on the puppet show, namely; figure Ravana (makuta wearing goleknya sekar kluwih model and era carvings resemble carved Pajajaran and Mataram kingdom with the descendants; Suyudana and Dushasana), figure Arjuna (a true warrior figure illustrates a handsome and brave wearing clothes chopsticks ¿¿urang contemporaries such as Bhima and Ghatotkacha), figure Mungkur Garuda (eagle cooked up front with his tongue out), figure Bineka Sari (such as arranged to spruce up as the puppet of Krishna, Balarama, Arimbi, Rama and Indra, figure Kuluk, accessories clothes or wear the eagle image as found on sumping Batara puppet master, and Kumbangkarna Karna.

Timing could be all night or just a few JAMA course. The contents of the story is that the principle strain (taken as a whole based on the Ramayana story and Mahabrata) and some use the principle of breakaway (take certain parts which usually attract audiences such as war, humor and dialogue).

In conditions of high activity and demand socialnya fast-paced times, it shows a brief but solid story interesting and humorous dialogue will be very attractive compared to the plots using the principle of strain ¿with long until dawn. For people from the older generation groups and fanatic strain terhadapprinsip puppet he would favor the way the original story, although she heard and seen over and over again. But, for the younger generation hungry for instant entertainment department, then the splinter stories are most preferred.
