A representative kaba of the Minangkabau people of Sumatra, Indonesia. Kaba is a type of oral storytelling found in the Malay cultural sphere, originally in verse form and told as a song. Through the narration of a certain event, kaba often shows how people should be and what their code of conduct should be according to adat (customary law). "Cindua Mat" can be considered an epic poem, and although the date of its creation is unknown, it tells the legend surrounding the origins of the Minangkabau royal family. The main characters are Queen Bundu Kanduaan (meaning "True Mother"), her son Dan Tuanku, and Chindua Mat (the son of the queen's lady-in-waiting). While describing the adventures of the protagonist, it preaches the ideal form of kingship and the state of the Minangkabau world. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
