Abstract

Ma’Marakka is a lamenting song played at the death ritual for the Toraja people's rambu solo' to the accompaniment of a suling lembang. Despite the fact that the Toraja people are currently facing numerous problems, they continue to perform ancestor rites outside. This study intends to explore the meaning of Ma’Marakkamusic for the Toraja people, in the light of this phenomenon. To investigate the issues at hand, the researcher discusses the theory of Victor Turner about ritual symbols. This study employs an ethnographic method to uncover data about the practice of Ma’Marakka. Participatory observations, interviews, and literature searches were used to obtain data. According to the findings of this study, music is one of the primary elements employed to portray lament. The presentation is delivered during the reception in the form of a rambu solo’, with comfort for the grieving family. The inclusion of Ma’Marakkaas a grief song in rambu solo'.
