Abstract

A Tifa is a traditional musical instrument, which is mandatory in every celebration of traditional events held by each tribe in the Papuan region. The focus of this study is on how the music is passed on through the learning process. This study was carried out using a qualitative research approach. Data collection involved observation, interviews and documentation in Agats, Asmat Regency, Papua. The study found that learning the Tifa in the Asmat tribe refers to traditional rituals that involve a process of initiation (Emak-Cem) where children who will learn the Tifa are dried in the sun in front of ‘Jew’ in the daytime. The types of rhythms taught in the learning process are sarpi, dames and damesnab. Children who are proficient in playing the Tifa will be included in the group at an Asmat tribe traditional party.
