Basurah Adat - Ringkasan Tambo Alam Minangkabau Hingga Si Ampek Baleh || Asmirwan, Rajo Basa||

Tambo Minangkabau is a historical literary work that records legendary stories related to the origins of the Minangkabau ethnic group, land, traditions, and nature. Tambo Minangkabau is written in Malay prose. The first recorded writings of Tambo Minangkabau were in Arabic script and Malay. Latin script was introduced in the early 20th century, and its contents were compared with several related historical evidence.[2] Most Tambo Minangkabau manuscripts are written in Arabic-Malay script (Jawi), with a small number written in Latin. A total of 83 manuscripts have been discovered. Their titles vary, including Minangkabau Law, Tambo Adat (Customary Law), Minangkabau Customary Law, Book of Customary and Statutory Records, Law of the Three-Laras Luhak (Three-Laras Luhak Law), and Customary Law. Tambo in Minangkabau is broadly divided into two main sections:[3] Tambo alam, which tells the story of the ancestors and the Minangkabau kingdom. Tambo adat, which tells the customs, government system, and laws of the Minangkabau government in the past. The storytelling in tambo is generally unsystematic, and the stories are sometimes adapted to suit the needs and circumstances, allowing the content to change according to the audience's preferences.[3] However, generally, Tambo Minangkabau are adaptations, with the adaptor not citing the source, thus appearing to be his own work. There are 47 original Minangkabau tambos stored in various libraries abroad, 10 of which are in the Jakarta State Library. Each of the others is an adaptation without the author's original name being known. Tambo comes from the Sanskrit word tambay, meaning "beginning." In Minangkabau tradition, tambo is a hereditary tradition passed down orally.[1] The word "tambo" or "tarambo" can also mean "history," "hikayat," or "narration." It has the same meaning as the Javanese or Sundanese word "babad." Singo Gurun is a Minangkabau traditional arts studio based in Lubuk Lintah, Padang City, West Sumatra. Managed by Asmirwan Rasjo Basa, the studio specializes in arts and cultural education, including traditional pencak silat (pencak silat), randai (randai), saluang (saluang), bansi (bansi), traditional dance lessons, and other entertainment activities. Minangkabau customs are divided into four parts: Adaik Nan Sabana Adaik: Authentic customs that are not eroded by heat or rain. These customs contain core customary provisions that reflect Minangkabau identity, such as inheritance laws, customary land distribution, the appointment of tribal chiefs, etc. Adat Istiadaik: Contains the customs prevailing within the community. Adaik Nan Diadaikkan: Contains the laws and regulations that apply. Adaik Nan Taradaik: It is a consensus or mutual agreement of the community.
