After All This Dormant Phase

It's Sanggar Kesenian Aceh UGM first performance at FM2GM, Grha Sabha Pramana.

Rampoe means rampai (jumbai), or can also means mix. Rampoe Aceh dance is a combination of several traditional Acehnese dances, such as Saman Gayo, Likok Pulo, Tarek Pukat, Rateeb Meuseukat. And accompanied by leader called syech, and using musical instrument named Rapa'i. So far, the Saman dance performed in Jakarta and overseas is actually not a genuine Saman dance but Rampoe one. Saman Gayo dance usually danced by male in a group of uneven dancers, but usually sing in Gayo language and don't need musical instrument, while Rampoe dance performed by female in a group of uneven dancers who sing in Acehnese and Arabic language and use Rapa'i as musical instrument.
