Akulturasi Musik dan Identitas Komunal dalam Ansambel Bambu Kamen Berok di Biak Numfor
Keywords:

Kamen Berok is a bamboo music ensemble that thrives in the coastal regions of Papua, particularly in Biak Numfor. Rooted in traditional bamboo playing, it has evolved through prolonged encounters with church music and modern education, forming an acculturative hybrid between Western tonal systems and local Papuan rhythmic aesthetics. This study employed an applied ethnomusicology framework to understand the role of music as social action that impacts identity, knowledge transmission, and community strengthening. The methods used were music ethnography with participant observation, in-depth interviews, and audio-visual documentation in Biak Numfor. Analysis was conducted thematically and participatorily by involving community leaders, trainers, and young players as co-researchers. The results affirmed the function of Kamen Berok as a space for identity negotiation, a medium for cultural education, and a platform for ecological and cultural policy advocacy.
