Abstrak
Artikel ini mengajukan pertanyaan bagaimana masyarakat Banda, yang tersingkir dari
kepulauan Banda akibat kolonisasi Banda oleh VOC pada tahun 1621, melangsungkan ke-
beradaannya sebagai satu kelompok budaya secara berkelanjutan. Masyarakat Banda di
pengasingan memainkan peranan yang penting di dalam perniagaan bahari di Indonesia
bagian timur pada periode awal kolonial. Mereka bertahan sebagai satu kelompok budaya pada
dua desa di Kepulauan Kei. Lagu-lagu tradisional dua desa ini berkisar pada pelayaran laut.
Argumentasi yang diajukan bahwa masyarakat Banda dimobilisasikan oleh tradisi-tradisi lisan
yang mengungkapkan pertalian kekerabatan orang Banda dengan para mitra niaga mereka
di wilayah-wilayah yang jauh.
This article asks the question how Banda displaced from the Banda Islands due to coloni-
zation of Banda by the VOC in 1621, maintain their existence as a sustainable cultural group.
Banda communities play an important role in maritime commerce in the eastern part of Indo-
nesia at the beginning of the colonial period. They survive as one cultural group in two villages
on the islands of Kei. The traditional songs of the two villages center on the sea voyage. The
argument is that Banda people are mobilized by oral traditions that reveal the kinship ties of
Banda people with their partners in commerce in distant lands.
