Abstract
Kedu’e is a rhythmic musiscal instrument which is fastened to the foot of Pedoa dancer, a dance from Sabu Timur, which is one of dances practiced in Ie Lowe Wini Studio in Kupang, East Nusa tenggara (NTT). In this article, the writer discusses (1) How is the presentation of Kedu’e as the accompaniment of musical instrument for Pedoa dance of Sabu Timur in the studio of Ie Lowe Wini, Kelurahan Airnona, Kecamatan Kota Raja, Kota Kupang? (2) How is the musical form of Kedu”e as the accompaniment instrument of Pedoa dance of Sabu Timur in Ie Lowe Wini Studio, Kelurahan Airnona, Kecamatan Kota Raja, Kota Kupang? The Kedu’e musical instrument which is fastened to the foot of a Pedoa dancer causes a musical rhythm from the stamping of dancer’s feet in the timing of Allegro and Andante . The shift of the two timings depends very much on the song sung by dancers. There are eight (8) patterns of Kedu’e rhythm, namely: (1) Tede; (20 Manale; (3) Hala; (4) Heroda; (5) Dede; (6) Paru; (7) Hegede; (8) Kewiku. Based on the result of the research, it is concluded that the presentation of Kedu’e is a combination of rhythm performance coming from foot stamping of Pedoa dancers. All rhythms caused by such a foot stamping have varied timings with the purpose of both to arouse the spirit of dancers and also to add up to the aethetics and dynamics of Pedoa dance.
