Abstract

Minang Classical texts are stored in various media such as people’s memories, in manuscripts, classic Kaba books, and local Minangkabau color drama scripts. The Kaba text remains in the memory of most of the older generation, on certain occasions delivered in traditional performances, such as bakaba performances (barabab, badendang, barandai), and other traditional performances. The text stored in the manuscript is written in Arabic-Malay script. The process of repeated copying causes the manuscript to come in various forms and many versions. Another form of written Kaba text is a revitalization work, written in Latin script based on the memory of the author. The Kaba tells about oral Kaba and contemporary works in the form of transformations of stories and values that try to stimulate the reader’s rationality to digest them. This form on the one hand weakens the image of the text and old cultural values in the public’s view. However, on the other hand, this form motivates the community, especially the younger generation to pay attention and learn again about the ancestral culture that has become the norm in the old society and make judgments about which values need to be passed on to the next generation.
