Rodat is anIndonesian andMalayfolk dance believed to have originated from theMiddle East and was spread toMaritime Southeast Asia by theAcehnese traders in the beginning of the 19th century.[3] Rodat may have been the combination of two words,hadratBaghdad, which meanszikir (songs in praise ofAllah andMuhammad)Baghdad.[4][5]
Until the 1900s, Rodat was performed in all male groups with the original style of singing zikir with rebana accompaniment to celebrateMuhammad’s birthday and Malay weddings. However, by 1930, the dancing part was included and performed by transvestite dancers, who were later replaced by women dancers afterWorld War II. With the addition of dancing and singing of popular Malay andHindustani tunes and female dancers, the performance became popular at secular events such as the harvest celebration,Sultan’s birthday, and festivities forMalaysian National Day.[6][4]
A Rodat performance involves singing of 8 to 12 verses from theKitab Zikir (book ofZikir) which is filled with advice, customs, fun, contemplation and awareness, in responsorial style between the male and female groups of chorus members, and is accompanied by the rhythmic patterns of theRebana drum.[7][8] The number of performers ranges from 20 to 26 and consisted of three separate group of performers:pelenggok (12 male dancers),pengadi (eight drummers) andmak inang (four to six female dancers). The basic dance movements are divided into sitting-kneeling, a combination ofsquatting and standing (performed mainly by male dancers) and standing movements.[7]
