[AzreeAriffin]

Asssalamualaikum.

erm, dalam byk-byk jenis muzik etnik, genre boria adalah yang agak asing bagi diri saya. maklumlah, saya ni orang selangor-johor. kepada mereka yang mempunyai maklumat, boleh tak tolong terangkan boria ini dari segi irama, rentak, persembahan, sejarah dan sebagainya? terima kasih!

harap lepas ni kak ani boleh cipta lagu boria untuk album akan datang. moga thread ini boleh memulakan usaha dengan memerah idea begaimana hendak menjadikan boria ini lebih menarik.

BoriaIt is believed that borea or boria originated in Persia, and reached Penang in the final quarter of the nineteenth century from the region of Bombay by Shia Muslims. Early boria in Penang featured costume parades with strolling minstrels visiting the houses of the wealthy, singing songs connected with the martyrs of Kerbala or performing passion plays, known as taziya, based upon the theme of the martyrdom of Ali's family. Penang boria was divided into two sections-- the day performance, called kuli kalin, and the night performance consisting of a straight drama presentation. This night performance eventually retained the name boria. hats. In the early days only members of the Indian armed forces (sepoy) regiments based in Penang Today, boria remains characteristically and typically a choric performance with the tukang karang in charge and reciting the more significant poetic passages whose lyrics he himself composes, though no longer ex tempore. A minimal amount of dance movement or gestures are included, and large modern bands accompany performances. Thus from a religous theatrical activity boria has been transformed into a completely secular solo and chorus singing style. Performances grace public occasions such as birthdays of celebrities or public holidays. The innovations introduced over the years include a proscenium stage. Open air performances have become rare. The use of keroncong music parties became fashionable in boria for a while. With it came another important feature -- the involvement of women as singers and dancers. A boria group today typically consists of about a dozen in the chorus -- males, females or mixed -- one tukang karang. Occasionally several actors or actresses perform comic sketches. The tukang karang always dresses in resplendant clothes. The other members of a troupe, known as sailors, wear pants, with a clear preference for white, shirts, and a sash around the waist. The lyrics of the songs are sung by the tukang karang to modern tunes brorowed from Western, Malay and Hindustani popular music. The steps of chorus members are based upon popular Western dances such as cha-cha or tango. The traditional boria function of praising the rich and powerful is still maintained, with the difference that much of the praise is showered upon politicians or local dignitaries. The boria remains popular in Penang and is principally associated with the State. It is not performed elsewhere.

erm....saya pulak...lebih dari asing tentang boria....saya kurang minat genre ni mungkin sbb saya ni jarang sangat dgr jenis muzik tuh..nak jatuh cinta be;um lagi...mungkin lepas kak Ani buat satu lagu boria barulah saya mungkin akan meminati sikit demi sikit.....maklumlah kat sarawa pun tak le le boria nih...

[AzreeAriffin]

betul tu...saya pun memang tak tau sgt lagu boria....lagu yang saya tau, cuma Boria Miskin Kaya senario tu jer...heheh... tapi dari pengamatan saya, rasanya boria ni macam selamba jer bila dinyanyikan...tak tau la...

[zaid]

erm....sama lah saya...

[paduka]

boaria dinanyikan dengan mood yg ceria dan bershaja. lagunya tidak terikut dgn lirik. ia ikut konsep cerita. lps tu tukang karang akan mellaut smp mesje yg nak disampaikan.

[AzreeAriffin]

betul tu...dari segi pengamatan saya, lagu ni perlu attitude apabila dipersembahkan dan penuh selamba. itu dari apa yg saya perhatikan sahaja la..

[zaid]

seingat saya...saya pernah menyaksikan boria live masa citrawarna....yang tak live pulak masa filem mami jarum junior..... ok gak boria....

[noamee]

muzik boria nie kalo dinyanyikan dgn cara yg asli (stail penang) mmg sedap didngr,kalo kak ani nyanyi pasti lagi sedapnye...

[AzreeAriffin]

semasa saya ke karnival seni anti dadah untuk pertandingan deklamasi puisi, saya ada terserempak dengan booth pertandingan boria. menarik jugak....pakaian mereka sungguh berwarna warni, cuma design dia agak erm....funny.... ntah la...

boria ni ada byk elemen india, kalau boleh nak jugak dgr kak ani masukkan instrument sitar dalam lagu boria nanti. untuk percussion, kak ani boleh masukkan gendang cina. masukkan elemen chingay sekali. tetapi dari segi aspek lain, kekalkan ciri-ciri kemelayuan. dari segi lirik, line kak ani guna bahasa melayu standart manakala line suara latar guna loghat utara. ok tak idea saya? tetiba pulak bayak idea.

A truly malaysian song with a penangite feel. cewaah!

tolong sampaikan proposal saya ni pada kak ani k!

[paduka]

Yup sy setuju, saya boleh tolong hasilkan melodi dan liriknya.

Saya berminat juga compose song. Rasanya klu matlamat direliasiskan, itulah sumbangan kecil sy utk memartabatkan seni buday.

Alangkah baiknya klu sy jd penanyi... hehehehe, mesti sy berbesar hati dpt menyambung usaha k ani.... kejap... ada commercial ke sy nie?

heheheheheh....

Apapun sy mmg sudah lama menantikan kak ani menyanyikan lagu boria. Lagi pun grand parent kak ani dr penang juga.

[zaid]

erm..mcam best je idea tuh...

[AzreeAriffin]

apa yang penting, struktur melodi mesti kemas dan teratur....tidak hura-hara...contoh yang baik adalah seperti lagu Putera Lantai Emas...minat sangat lagu ni...

Tandang Bermadah pula bagi saya mempunyai struktur melodi yang agak kelam-kabut.

apa yang penting, ia harus simple, catchy, exotic, kontemporari dan bernilai artistik.
