| Summary: | This study aims to describe and explain how community resilience needs to be leveraged during the spread of COVID-19 with traditional music ‘Karawitan’. This study uses a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The research was conducted for 26 months in Sodong, Gelangkulon Village, Sampung District, Ponorogo Regency, East Java Province, Indoensia. The research data was taken by interview, observation, and document recording techniques and then analyzed using interactive model qualitative analysis techniques. The results showed that the traditional music ‘Karawitan’ played a major role in building the resilience of the Sodong Buddhist Village community in facing the Covid-19 pandemic. Traditional music ‘Karawitan’ communicates various matters relating to the Covid-19 pandemic and strategies to deal with it. Pengrawit, in routine and incidental rehearsals, presents songs with light, happy rhythms (slendro), containing religious, social, human and health values. Those songs not only presented but also explained (air). The traditional music ‘Karawitan’ also held peduli sasama and distributed them. These activities make community members able to eliminate psychological pressure and be able to adapt, be optimistic, and be able to survive in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. |
