PUISI LISAN MASYARAKAT BANDA ELI KETAHANAN BUDAYA DI MALUKU SETELAH PERANG PALA
ABSTRACT: This article asks
the question how Banda displaced from the Banda Islands due to colonization of
Banda by the VOC in 1621, maintain their existence as a sustainable cultural
group. Banda communities play an important role in maritime commerce in the
eastern part of Indonesia at the beginning of the colonial period. They survive
as one cultural group in two villages on the islands of Kei. The traditional
songs of the two villages center on the sea voyage. The argument is that Banda
people are mobilized by oral traditions that reveal the kinship ties of Banda
people with their partners in commerce in distant lands.
Key-words: oral poetry, Banda
Eli Communities, cultural resistance
