Introduction

Traditional music is one of the elements of culture keeping the continuity, dynamics, cultural identity and becoming a vehicle for transmitting the cultural values inherited from generation to generation. This study aims to identify and describe the exploration of traditional music Lampung as an effort to preserve music culture by the Kulit Tipis community in Bandar Lampung. As stated by Koentjaraningrat (1984) that culture is a whole system of ideas, actions and human works in the context of community life which is made into the human property by learning. This is a matter of pride as well as a challenge for all Indonesian people to be able to maintain the local culture in the midst of many foreign cultural influences that can damage local culture. This can be seen by the frequent occurrence of Indonesian people, especially the young generation nowadays who are starting to follow foreign cultures such as they prefer listening to and playing modern popular music from foreign cultures (pop, rock, jazz, kpop, etc.) and so on) compared to traditional Indonesian music
