ACEH is one of the nation that has a diversity of high cultural art. Known long ago by the world community, the Saman, Seudati and traditional dances are very famous.
His musical instruments were also very powerful, such as Rapai, Canang and Tambo. Perhaps Tambo is still a little alien, but among the village community, Tambo is not just a musical instrument. But also as a public communication tool.
For example, when there is announcement of death, the musician Tambo will raise a punch with a tensed pattern. People who hear the rhythm of the beat will know that someone died in his village.
Or there is an announcement for the village deliberation, the linking will play a certain rhythm and the people who hear it will understand it without having to be told by the letter.
Tambo is rounded, the longer the table, the art of cow or buffalo skin. The size of Tambo varies, the diameter depends on the desire and the desired sound distance.
Nowadays, Tambo is rarely used by the public, but still played during the night of Islamic holidays or other traditional events. There is also a contested, but not as often as it used to be.
This is the base of Tambo, hopefully this paper adds to the knowledge of all of us.
