Soal Song Lyrics: Memahami Makna dan Pesan di Balik Lagu

Ondel-ondel is very popular in Jakarta. It is a giant doll with a horrible face. The male ondel-ondel is dressed like a man. He has a sword at his hip and a shawl over his shoulder. Its head is decorated with colourful paper strings.

Ondel-ondel is made of bamboo structure. Its face is made of a wooden mask. Its hair is made of palm fibre. A man inside the structure moves it. The movement is very clumsy. Its arms are drooping.

A pair of ondel-ondels are usually performed to celebrate a child circumcision. Traditional music, i.e. gambang kromong, gasidah, tanjidor, or gendang pencak, accompanies the procession. Of course, children are interested in following it.

In the old days people believed that a couple of ondel-ondels were the manifestation of a god and a goddess who would protect the circumcised boy from danger or evil. Now ondel-ondel is performed to welcome guests at opening ceremonies held in Jakarta and nearby places.
