TARI SOYA-SOYA ( semangat pantang ), tarian khas Malut untuk  menyambut prajurit atau pasukan, setelah bertempur di medan perang. Tari ini menggambarkan perjuangan warga Kayoa di Kabupaten Halmahera Selatan jaman dulu.

Tahun 1570-1583 terjadi penyerbuan ke Benteng Nostra Senora del Rosario ( Benteng Kastela ) di ujung Selatan Ternate oleh Sultan Babullah ( Sultan Ternate ke-24 ) dan pasukannya, untuk mengambil jenazah ayah Babullah / Sultan Khairun yang dibunuh tentara Portugis. Pertempuran itu menandai kebangkitan perjuangan rakyat Kayoa terhadap penjajah dengan mengepung benteng tersebut selama 5 tahun di akhir abad ke-16.

Tarian Soya-soya waktu itu untuk mengobarkan semangat pasukan, setelah terbunuhnyanya Sultan Khairun ( 25/2/1570 ), atau perang pembebasan Malut dari Portugis hingga terusir tahun 1575. Pada masa berikutnya, Kesultanan Ternate menjadi penguasa 72 pulau berpenghuni di wilayah timur Nusantara, hingga Mindanao Selatan di Filipina, dan Kepulauan Marshall.

Mereka mengenakan pakaian berwarna putih dan kain sambungan mirip rok warna merah, hitam, kuning, dan hijau. Setiap penari mengenakan ikat kepala warna kuning ( taqoa ) simbol prajurit perang. Senjata pedang ( ngana-ngana ) dari bambu berhiaskan daun palem ( woka ) berwarna merah, kuning dan hijau, dipasang kerincing / biji jagung di dalamnya. Para penari juga membawa perisai ( salawaku ).

Musik pengiringnya : gendang ( tifa ), gong ( saragai ), dan gong  kecil ( tawa-tawa ). Empat sampai ribuan penari bergerak seperti menyerang, mengelak dan menangkis. Warga Maluku Utara sangat menjaga kelestarian tari ini, hingga generasi muda Malut sudah diajari Tari Soya-soya sejak kecil.

* Keren ya ? Sejarah penting bisa dikemas jadi tarian cantik yang rutin diajarkan ke generasi penerus, sekaligus mewarisi semangat patriotisme leluhurnya yang kompak dan pemberani. Apa karya budaya Maluku Utara / Malut lainnya ?

* LAGU DAERAH : Borero, Moloku Kie Raha, Dana Dana.

* RUMAH ADAT BAILEO di Maluku Utara mirip rumah adat Maluku. Rumah ini digunakan sebagai tempat musyawarah warga dan pemuka adatnya, serta tempat upacara adat Seniri Negeri. Berbentuk rumah panggung yang persegi, dengan kerangka kayu dan gaba-gaba ( semacam tangkai rumbia sebagai dinding rumahnya ). Atapnya dibuat agak besar dan tinggi dari bahan rumbia. Ada beranda atau teras di depan rumah.

* TARI LENSO, tarian muda-mudi dari Maluku dan Minahasa, Sulawesi Utara. Biasanya di bawakan beramai-ramai, bila ada pesta pernikahan, panen cengkeh, tahun baru dan kegiatan lainnya. Sekaligus ajang cari jodoh bagi para lajang ( ketika lenso / saputangan, atau selendang diterima, itu tanda cinta diterima ). Jika selendang dibuang berarti lamaran ditolak.

* TOTO BUANG, serangkai gong  kecil yang dipasang pada meja berlubang sebagai penyangga.

* KULIT BIA, alat musik tiup dari kulit kerang.

* PARANG SALAWAKU, parang besi tempa ( tangkainya dari kayu besi atau kayu gupasa ) sepanjang 90-100 cm dengan perisai ( dari kayu keras juga ) dihiasi motif simbol keberanian. Selain dipakai untuk perang, Parang Salawaku juga dipakai dalam Tari Cakalele.

Baju adat pria Malut : kemeja berenda dilapisi jas warna merah /  hitam lengan panjang. Bawahnya memakai celana panjang model cutbray dilapisi ikat pinggang.

Busana adat wanita Malut : kebaya pendek bersuji dan berkanji, dilengkapi perhiasan anting, kalung panjang dan cincin. Bawahnya mengenakan rok.

3 karya budaya dari Maluku Utara ditetapkan sebagai Warisan Budaya Takbenda Indonesia 2021, yaitu :

* LALAMPA, kuliner khas warga kepulauan Sula berupa nasi ikan daun pisang berbentuk seperti lemper dengan bahan beras pulut, rica / chili besar, ikan cakalang fufu, dan laksan. Biasa disajikan dalam acara adat perkawinan Saro Badaka, Tahlilan, juga acara formal upacara kenegaraan. Jika Lemper Jawa hanya dikukus, maka Lalampa yang sudah dibungkus daun pisang dibakar, sampai mengeluarkan harum yang menggugah selera. Lalampa berasa gurih dan legit.

* POLA, atau Sagu Bakar khas Sula berbeda dengan Sagu Bakar dari daerah lain. Pola disajikan sebelum Indonesia merdeka. Sagu adalah makanan pokok warga Sula dan Maluku Utara. Sagu juga sumber informasi budaya, alam, dan manusia sebagai identitas dirinya. Kini, Pola hampir punah karena warga Malut sudah mengonsumsi beras atau padi. Padahal, mengonsumsi Pola, hidup warga Sula lebih ekonomis, sederhana,  sehat dengan mengurangi konsumsi karbohidrat berlebihan, serta gotong-royong.

* MUSIK BAMBU TADA, bernilai sosial dan adat, sehingga bunyi tak bermakna jika unsur bunyi dalam musik tsb tak dipenuhinya. Bunyi musik dalam kepercayaan warga Weda adalah bunyi yang memiliki ide, maksud dan tujuan. Bukan sekedar bunyi.

Musik Bambu Tada tak bisa dimainkan sendiri, mesti banyak orang sehingga memiliki keindahan nilai estetika nada. Jika dimainkan secara kompak dengan beragam nada, dan mengikuti not, akan menghasilkan suara indah.

Maknanya dalam kehidupan : jika bertindak sesuatu dengan kompak, mengikuti aturan, segalanya akan berjalan baik, dan mendapat hasil  baik pula. Gerak itu menandakan kesatuan dan persatuan dalam masyarakat. Semangat gotong royong, gambaran jiwa masyarakat Gamrange ( tiga negeri bersaudara ), yakni Weda, Patani dan Maba sejak dulu.

Pemandu yang memberi aba-aba akan menentukan arah keindahan permainan musik Bambu Tada. Begitu pula dengan pemimpin, harus ada aturan yang diikuti,  tak menyimpang dari aturan tsb.

** Setelah provinsi terbanyak penduduknya ke- 31 di Indonesia,  Maluku Utara dengan 1.319.300 jiwa, berikutnya yang ke-32, provinsi Gorontalo dengan 1.192.700 penduduk. Kamis depan, Insya Allah ..

FIRST MET SOEKARNO – HATTA
Mengesankan, atau tidak ?

“Demi persatuan aku memerlukan seorang dari Sumatera. Dia ( Hatta ) adalah jalan yang paling baik untuk menjamin sokongan dari rakyat pulau yang nomor dua terbesar di Indonesia,” ucap Bung Karno.

“Mendidik rakyat supaya cerdas akan memerlukan waktu bertahun-tahun, Bung Hatta. Jalan yang Bung tempuh baru akan tercapai kalau hari sudah kiamat,” kata Soekarno mengomentari metode pergerakan PNI Hatta.

Lho ? Gimana sebetulnya kisah Soekarno – Hatta, Dwitunggal yang terpisah politik ini ? Lanjut ..

MFN-13 : LEARN FROM THE BEST.

SRK.  Who ?  At least 3.2 billion people on earth know him, including 1 billion fans, more than Hollywood’s Tom Cruise.  I know SRK in the films “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” ( which he starred in with Kajol, your idol – Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherji ).

KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM – Lata Mangeshkar. https://youtu.be/2wn3RHVpfxE?si=phL3KeSt7EmlyWp8

* In 2001, SRK played a role in the family drama film “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” by Karan Johar, which also starred Amitabh Bachchan as an authoritarian figure, and presented the ideological struggle between the two men. “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” remained the highest grossing Indian production of all time in overseas markets over the next 5 years.

Some translations of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham song lyric :

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad,
we will not separate.
You occupy every breath I take.
My life is in your shadow.
I will always adore you.
This is your will.
Hope you don’t come and go like the seasons.

I always light a lamp day and night at Your feet.
Wherever I look, I always see You.
These lips always say Your name
The love in my heart will never diminish.
This is not just a house, but Your temple.
May I always be in Your protection
May it remain fragrant with Your aroma.

Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood’s most awarded actors. He received 14 Filmfare awards from 30  nominations and special awards, including 8 for Best Actor : the films “Baazigar” ( 1993 ), “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” ( 1995 ), “Dil To Pagal Hai” ( 1997 ), “Kuch Kuch Hota  Hai” ( 1998 ), “Devdas” ( 2002 ), “Swades” ( 2004 ), “Chak De ! India” ( 2007 ) and “My Name Is Khan” ( 2010 ).

SRK is nicknamed the “Baadshah of Bollywood”, “King of Bollywood”, or “King Khan”, for appearing in more than 80 Bollywood films, and winning many awards. Khan’s fans spread across Asia and the world in significant numbers. One of the most successful film stars in the world.

I’m amazed, how can a moslem actor become the “King of Bollywood” in a Hindu majority country ?  The moslem SRK’s tolerance for his Hindu wife until their marriage has reached 33 years now, is also extraordinary ( Hrithik Roshan couldn’t do it ).

Khan started his acting career at the age of 23 ( a year later than you, Nish ). From themes of romance, action, comedy, to themes of nationalism and global issues ( Islamophobia, terrorism, poverty of the majority of the world’s population, etc ).

I understand the problems of the country and the world today.  But, you said go up the small steps first, for those of you who are still focused on the theme of romance.  In the end, we will meet at the peak of our purpose as citizens, and servants of God, and contribute to a better world.  It’s just a matter of time. Take your time, please.

I am a generalist like Yudhishthira / leader in the Mahabharata, accustomed to seeing the world as a whole. It seems like you are a specialist like Arjuna who is used to focusing on your skills / target.  The man takes aim, the woman directs the aim. Maybe, we can learn from SRK, how to take that winding road, so we can get there faster.

1. CHILDHOOD OF SHAH RUKH KHAN ( SRK ).

Indian moslem actor ( born 2 November 1965 in New Delhi ), who is now also a television producer and host.

In 1994, Khan won the Filmfare Best Villain Award for his role as an  obsessive lover in the film “Anjaam”, which also starred Madhuri Dixit and Deepak Tijori.  At that time, playing an antagonist was considered risky for the career of the main actor in Bollywood.

December 2001, Khan suffered an injury while acting in Krishna Vamsi’s film “Shakti : The Power”.  He was later diagnosed with a prolapsed disc, and no one was able to provide a permanent solution to the injury.  Khan still experiences pain while filming, so he reduces his work rate and the number of film roles he accepts each year.

In December 2008, Khan suffered a shoulder injury while filming a small role in Mudassar Aziz’s film “Dulha Mil Gaya”. He underwent special physiotherapy sessions at that time, but the remaining wounds barely disappeared, and he underwent arthroscopic surgery in February 2009.

In 2001, Dreamz Unlimited made another attempt, with Khan playing the lead role in Santosh Sivan’s historical epic film – “Aśoka” ( a fictionalization of the life of emperor Asoka ).  The film was shown at the Venice Film Festival and the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival and received positive reviews, but performed poorly at the Indian box office.

After turning down the role then given to Anil Kapoor in Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” ( 2008 ), Khan began filming “My Name Is Khan” ( 2010 ), his fourth collaboration with director Karan Johar and his sixth with Kajol.  The film is based on a true story and was made to counter the perception of Islam after the attacks of September 11, 2001 ( my brother was depressed and almost committed suicide after seeing the WTC twin towers collapse under attack by terrorists ).

*** “Such big things happen to normal people like me. I’m not the person who should be able to do all this, but I did it. I told everyone, that there is a myth that I work, and I am SRK’s employee. I live, I did it, I’m the actor. I don’t believe in myths,”  Khan said.

Khalid Mohammed wrote, entrepreneurship came to Shah Rukh Khan, who combined comedy, high drama and action, with his signature style : spontaneous and intuitively intelligent”.

March 7, 2013, a day before International Women’s Day, Khan requested a new convention with the names of his leading female stars above him. He said that the women in his life, including his co-stars, were the cause of his success ( behind great men there are great women ). Humble.

** May SRK’s achievements as a man, husband, father, moslem, actor, film producer and world citizen inspire us all.

Aa..a..
Tum paas aaye, yun muskuraaye.
( Kau hampiri diriku, tersenyum manisnya ).
Tumne na jaane kya sapne dikhaaye.
( Tanpa sadar kau berikan impian kepadaku ).
Ab to mera dil, jaage na sota hai.
( Kini hatiku tiada lagi terjaga atau terlena ).
Kya karoon haye kuch kuch hota hai.
( Apa perlu kulakukan, sesuatu terjadi dalam hatiku ).

Na jaane kaisa ehsaas hai.
( Apakah perasaan ini ).
Bujhti nahi hai kya pyaas hai.
( Kehausan yang tiada ujung ).
Kya nasha is pyar ka.
( tanpa kusadari keasyikan cinta ini ).
Mujhpe sanam chhane laga.
( Menyerap ke seluruh jiwaku ).
Koi na jaane kyun chain khota hai.
( tak diketahui kenapa kedamaian hilang dilanda cinta ).
Hey.. hmm… Aa.. Aa..

Kya rang laayee meri dua.
( Doaku telah terkabul ).
Ye ishq jaane kaise hua.
( Hanya Tuhan tahu bagaimana aku jatuh cinta ).
Bechainiyon mein chain.
( Tidak kutahu kenapa kebahagiaan ).
Na jaane kyoon aane laga.
( muncul dari keresahan ini ).
Tanhaayee me dil, yaaden sanjota hai.
( Aku sendirian, dibalut memori ).

HAMAS VS ISRAEL Hari ke-183 ( Sabtu, 6/4/2024 ).

* Iran memastikan siap perang dengan Israel yang menyerang Konsulat Iran di Damaskus, Suriah, dan minta AS minggir, tak ikut campur. Hizbullah, sekutu utama Iran di Timur Tengah, juga memperingatkan Israel, bahwa pihaknya telah siap berperang. Wakastaf presiden Iran untuk urusan politik, Mohammad Jamshidi, memperingatkan AS agar tak terseret dalam perangkap PM Netanyahu. Sebagai tanggapan, AS meminta Iran tidak menyerang sasaran Amerika. AS kini dalam keadaan siaga menghadapi ancaman Iran yang menyasar aset Israel atau Amerika di wilayah tersebut. Presiden Biden khawatir setiap serangan bisa terjadi di Israel, khususnya terhadap sasaran militer atau intelijen. Republik Islam Iran bilang akan memberi tamparan keras pada Israel.

Biden mengambil langkah dengan komunikasi langsung ke Iran bahwa AS tak menyadari serangan Israel di Damaskus itu akan terjadi, untuk mencegah terjadinya serangan Iran terhadap pasukan dan pangkalan AS di Timur Tengah. Serangan udara Israel tersebut telah menghantam Konsulat Iran di Damaskus, dan menewaskan sedikitnya 7 warga Iran, termasuk dua jenderal. Meski Israel telah berulang kali menargetkan aset terkait Iran di Suriah selama beberapa bulan terakhir, baru kali ini serangan zionis Israel itu menghantam gedung diplomatik Iran.

Israel telah bersiaga sejak itu, memanggil pasukan cadangan dan memperkuat pertahanan udaranya. Militer Israel mengacak sinyal navigasi di Tel Aviv untuk mengganggu drone atau rudal yang bernavigasi GPS yang mungkin ditembakkan ke Israel,  Kamis ( 4/4/2024 ).

“Setelah itu, bagaimana Israel akan berperilaku, kawasan ini akan memasuki fase baru,” kata Nasrallah, pimpinan Hizbullah, milisi paling kuat di Timur Tengah, yang belum menggunakan persenjataan utamanya dalam pertempuran sehari-hari dengan Israel di sepanjang perbatasan selatan Lebanon sejak dimulainya perang Israel-Hamas pada 7 Oktober 2023. Hizbullah sepenuhnya siap  menghadapi perang apapun dengan Israel.
