(Unila): On Saturday, June 17, 2023, the students enrolled in the Music Education Study Program,Unila organized a Lampung oral literary performance at Campus A FKIP Unila.
The art performance in question was a direct outcome of the Lampung Oral Literature course, which was instructed by Erizal Barnawi, M.Sn.

Lampung poetry includes various genres, such as paradinei, pepaccur, segata, ringget, and muwayak.
During this particular performance, a group of students showcased a repertoire consisting of five pieces of Lampung oral literature, which were artistically presented through the integration of music and dance. The topic discussed was the Intersection of Taste and Literature.
The exhibited pieces demonstrated Wawancan’s “Lazy College Students,” Bubandung’s “Dunia Jaman Ho,” Hahiwang’s “Bukhasan,” Kias’s “Students of Beboh Belajagh,” and Muwayak’s “Pulipang.”
According to Erizal Barnawi, these sorts of works were produced as a result of student experiments aimed at examining oral literature and organizing it in a coherent manner from the perspective of music education at Unila.
According to Erizal Barnawi ,these activities were also intended to preserve and develop Lampung oral literature as a regional cultural identity.
