Abstract:
Oral traditions that exist in society are now starting to disappear. Oral tradition is a historical heritage that is in a certain area that must be preserved so that it can be used as a transformation of local values and culture. This is so that the younger generation does not forget the local history that is in their own area as a result of advances in science and technology which can result in the younger generation paying less attention to local history in the form of oral traditions so that the younger generation has eroded many character and cultural values. Sources of data were obtained through informants related to the oral tradition of Rampi Rampo. The research subjects were the people of Rantau Pandan Village. The method uses observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study. To test the validity of the data used source triangulation. The data analysis technique uses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The oral tradition is in the form of rhymes that are sung in response (reciprocated rhymes) with the rhythm of vocal music containing the petitih proverb. Based on its history, Rampi Rampo comes from the words "ampi" and "ampo" which means winnowing rice (separating rice). The purpose of Rampi Rampo was as an entertainment program for young people in ancient times as a relaxing event after performing the beseloang (rice planting) ceremony. In addition, Rampi Rampo also has values contained in it such as moral values, responsibility, honesty, religion, and humility. Likewise, the social value of togetherness and the cultural value of compassion. Therefore, these values can be used as guidelines for the younger generation so that the values contained in the Rampi Rampo oral tradition can be applied in everyday life.
