About this ebook:
Dikir Barat merupakan sejenis seni hiburan rakyat. Dikatakan seni hiburan rakyat kerana ia dipersembahkan sendiri daripada kalangan mereka untuk menghiburkan masyarakat itu pula. Ia sebenarnya muncul di negara ini sejak awal abad ke-20 lagi, menjadi salah satu seni yang sangat popular, digemari ramai dan dianggap cukup menghiburkan. Dikir Barat dipersembahkan dalam bentuk berkumpulan. Lazimnya, antara 15 hingga 25 orang ahli dalam satu-satu kumpulan. Setiap kumpulan terbahagi pula kepada dua komponen, iaitu pemuzik yang mengiringi, dan para pendikir yang menyampaikan nyanyian menurut tertib dan susunannya. Dikir barat menjadi semacam sebuah ‘institusi’ penyatuan orang ramai serta alat atau komponen ampuh dalam pemupukan jalinan gaya hidup yang harmonis. Jika dahulu, ia penting dan berkembang subur di kampung-kampung dan desa, kini ia menjengah kota-kota pula, menjadi item pilihan di pentas-pentas utama pelbagai majlis dan acara, bahkan dipersembahkan juga di peringkat antarabangsa.Buku ini menghuraikan secara yang agak lengkap atau terperinci tentang sejarah seni dikir barat, perkembangannya dari satu era ke satu era, serta penerangan khusus tentang teknik persembahan, termasuk beberapa langkah inovasi ataupun pembaharuan agar kesenian ini kekal relevan dengan tuntutan khalayak semasa, sambil teguh mempertahankan keasliannya. Jika pada masa lampau, pengisian persembahannya penuh dengan nyanyian dan lagu dendangan yang indah-indah, yang sehingga kini masih dikekalkan dengan baik, namun sekarang telah diberikan motif baharu yang lebih segar, lebih kreatif selain penuh warna-warni. Demikian isi yang diutarakan dalam persembahan dikir barat misalnya, kalau dahulu tentang kehidupan petani dan nelayan, interaksi sesama anggota masyarakat, kisah-kisah penuh teladan untuk dicontohi dalam kehidupan sehari-harian, tentang kasih sayang termasuk menyalurkan pelbagai informasi, sekarang ia malahan telah membincangkan isu-isu besar semasa negara yang penting, hal ehwal dunia tidak terkecuali krisis di peringkat global melalui kupasan dan analisis yang kritis, bersifat analitikal, melalui gaya dominan seni dikir barat yang santai, penuh kemeriahan, kadang-kadang bersahaja, atau sarat humor, sesungguhnya sangat kuat berimpak.

An acceptable diversion. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
