Kabanti Bula Malino

Lia, a young woman from Buton, rediscovers the manuscripts Kabanti— an oral art inherited from his grandmother, Wa Mia, who was once known as a singer Kabanti. The tradition was nearly extinct, especially since his mother was reluctant to continue it. With the guidance of traditional figures and the support of her friends, Lia tries to understand the deep meaning behind each verse of Kabanti that is full of Islamic teachings and life values. She learned to recite it with feeling and a sense of responsibility for his ancestral heritage. At the peak, Lia performed Kabanti at a campus exhibition. Her melodious voice revived a long-forgotten tradition and touched the hearts of many, becoming a symbol of the revival of Butonese culture in the hands of the younger generation.
