Rapai is a traditional Aceh musical instrument that is beaten by hand, not using a stick. Rapai usually plays a role to regulate the rhythm, tempo, jingle when chanting Islamic shades of poet are being sung.
His voice can create a more vibrant atmosphere and passion for who is watching the show. Rapai also uses almost all the traditional soundtrack art in Aceh.
Even ethnic singers in Aceh also collaborate with modern musical instruments such as drums, guitars and a number of other musical instruments. This instrument is usually played by 8 to 12 people.
This group in Aceh is known as RAKA (Reachers Group). Usually accompanied by Seurene Kale instruments that have a shrill voice or Buloh Merindu, this instrument is almost similar to the flute.
players do not use the loudspeaker. But the sound that comes out when hearing it simultaneously can be heard 5 to 10 km when in a quiet village silent with others.
The history of the instrument can not be separated from the civilization of the entry of Islam in Aceh. Because this achievement was introduced by a great scholar from Baghdad who spread Islam to Aceh.
In some historical records, which later became a traditional musical instrument of Aceh introduced by Syech Rapi or there is also a mention with Syech Rifai.
