Hello steemian friend, welcome to my steemit.
RAPA'I is one of Aceh Traditional Music form, it lives and develops according to the needs of its supporting community. Until now the existence of rapa'i is still favored and in the interest by the people of Aceh as one of the traditional forms of art both in the context of customs and Islam.
Rapai is played in an ensemble of 8 to 12 players called a crew and paired with other instruments such as serale kalee or buloh longs. The game of the Rapai ensemble can reach the hearing from a distance due to the reflected echoes and does not require a microphone for every performance even at night in the countryside can reach hearing from a distance of 5-10 km.
Rapa'i Pase is different from other Rapa'i types, from the form of a very large rapa'i pase and must be hung to play it. So also with his voice, the faster the beating the sound rapa'i pase increasingly echoed his voice.
In North Aceh it is well known for its distinctive rapa'i pase, sometimes in every year local governments often create cultural events that introduce and showcase traditional musical instruments.
History rapa'i pase already worldwide, since the government of Aceh often promote at the annual event of tourism office.
So much more about Rapa'i Pase, hope you are interested to go to Aceh to see directly Adat and Aceh culture, especially North Aceh. Thank you for seeing this post, I hope your days are fun.
