Cultural Value in Sipitu Gondang Study Through Gondang Naposo Tortor

摘要

Although technology has become an important part of life to achieve prosperity, using technology wisely requires strengthening understanding of cultural values stored in our traditions. One of them was in the execution of the tortor Naposo program from the Toba Batak family in Pangururan - Samosir. Tortor is a term for 'dance' in the language of the Toba Batak region. This study uses the theory presented by Clyde Kluckhohn that cultural values are organized concepts, which affect human behavior with nature, humans and humans, which may be tied to human relations with nature and human beings. This study uses ethnographic research methods to obtain a systematic understanding of culture from the perspective of others. The results show that Tortor in Gondang Naposo is a dance performance, whose implementation is based on the kinship system of the Toba Batak tribe. It was seen from the opening of this event by eleven (11) Sipitu Gondang songs to show respect for the Toba Batak people to the creators and rulers of the universe, expressed by the supporters of the event by standing still (marhohom). The whole tortor series in GondangNaposo expresses various values belonging to the Toba Batak community that is maintained and manifested in the lives of their everyday people.
