Kain Bentenan (Bentenan Weaving), Southeast Minahasa (Minahasa Tenggara, Mitra)

Kain tenun Bentenan merupakan kain karya Suku Minahasa yang sekitar abad ke-7 membuat busana dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan dari serat kulit kayu yang disebut fuya, diambil dari pohon lahendong dan pohon sawukouw, serta nenas serta pisang, disebut koffo dan serat bambu disebut wa’u.

Sekitar abad ke-15, orang Minahasa mulai menenun dengan benang katun dan hasil tenunan inilah yang dinamakan Kain Tenun Bentenan. Dari Desa Bentenan yang terletak di Pantai Timur Minahasa Selatan (distrik Pasan, Ratahan, Ponosakan dan Tonsawang) inilah, kain tenun Bentenan pertama. Ditemukan dan terakhir ditenun di daerah Ratahan pada tahun 1900.

Pada massanya, kain tenun Bentenan adalah salah satu kain yang sangat tinggi mutunya di dunia. Bukan saja karena teknik pembuatannya (bentuk kain lingkaran tanpa guntingan, sambungan kain dan menggunakan bel, lonceng kecil di sekeliling kain, sehingga disebut Pasolongan Rinegetan, namun juga karena di saat sebelum menenun dilaksanakan, ritual pujian kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dilantunkan.

Kain Bentenan memiliki tujuh motif yaitu tonilama (tenun dari benang putih, tidak berwarna dan merupakan kain putih), sinoi (tenun dengan benang warna warni dan berbentuk garis-garis), pinatikan (tenun dengan garis-garis motif jala dan bentuk segi enam, merupakan yang pertama ditenun di Minahasa. Juga tinompak kuda (tenun dengan aneka motif berulang), tononton mata (tenun dengan gambar manusia), kalwu patola (tenun dengan motif tenun Patola India) dan kokera (tenun dengan motif bunga warna-warni bersulam manik-manik). Kain Bentenan ini bisa dilihat di di Museum Nasional, Jakarta, Museum Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam, Museum voor Land-en Volkenkunde, Rotterdam, Museum fur Volkenkunde, Frankfurt-am-Main, Jerman, Ethnographical Museum, Dresden, dan Indonesisch Ethografisch Museum.

Joy: Saya Tak Mundur dari Idol

Joy Tobing (GATRA/Edward Luhukay)Jakarta, 8 November 2004 11:08
Joy Destiny Tobing memberikan klarifikasi seputar permasalahan yang dihadapinya dengan Indomugi Pratama dan BMG Indonesia, yang menurutnya tidak menghargai juara Indonesian Idol ini sebagai seorang penyanyi.

Di depan sejumlah wartawan yang hadir pada konferensi pers, di Jakarta, akhir pekan lalu, Joy menjelaskan unek-unek-nya seputar permasalahan tersebut, melalui sebuah pernyataan tertulis yang dibacakannya.

Dalam pernyataan tertulisnya, Joy menyebutkan, faktanya ia tidak pernah memberikan pernyataan pengunduran diri dari Indonesian Idol. “Saya hanya memiliki masalah dengan manajemen IP dan BMG,” kata Joy, yang saat itu didampingi kuasa hukum dan keluarga besarnya.

Saya sama sekali tidak memiliki masalah dengan Fremantle dan RCTI, yang telah membesarkan namanya. Joy menyatakan keberatan dimanajemeni IP. Menurutnya, IP tak menghargainya sebagai seorang penyanyi. Misalnya, jadwal show yang seringkali dibuat tanpa konfirmasinya lebih dahulu. “Itu yang saya rasakan tidak adanya kesetaraan antara saya dengan manajemen IP,” katanya.

Karena itu, ia berniat meninjau kembali kontrak yang telah ditandatanganinya dengan BMG.

Joy Tobing; Saat Memberikan Klarifikasi Seputar Permasalahan Dengan IP & BMG (GATRA/Edward Luhukay)Ia berharap, IP bukanlah satu-satunya manajemen yang menanganinya. Ia berharap, manajemen keluarga turut serta menanganinya.

Joy beralasan, kontrak itu ditandataninya secara tergesa-gesa –dilakukan sesaat sebelum manggung– yang berakibat kekhilafan dalam mencermati pasal demi pasal dalam kontrak tersebut.

Karena itu, ia memandang perlu diadakan perbaikan dan pembaruan kontrak. “Saya tetap bertekad untuk mengikuti Asian Idol maupun World Idol, apabila persoalan kontrak dengan manajemen IP dan BMG dapat diperbaiki dan dimusyawarahkan dengan baik,” ujarnya.

Jika tak ada penyelesaian dari manajemen IP dan BMG yang merugikan pihaknya, Joy hanya bisa pasrah.

“Tekad saya untuk mengikuti Asian Idol dan World Idol adalah semata-mata bentuk pertanggungjawaban moralnya kepada seluruh penggemar, penduduk Indonesia, yang telah mendukung saya sehingga bisa menjadi juara Indonesian Idol,” katanya.

Ia mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah mendukung karirnya, sehingga dirinya seperti sekarang ini, khususnya kepada para pengirim SMS yang telah menyisihkan rezeki mereka untuk mengirim SMS sebanyak-banyaknya.

“I’m Alive” is the second hit single from Céline Dion’s album “A New Day Has Come”, released on August 12 2002.

The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Andreas Carlsson, who already worked with Céline Dion in 1999 on “That’s the Way It Is.” [ [http://www.celinedion.com/celinedion/english/music.cgi?album_id=16 A New Day Has Come] . Retrieved March 22, 2002.] “I’m Alive” was also featured in the “Stuart Little 2″ movie.

The music video was directed by Dave Meyers between May 24-25, 2002 and premiered in June 2002. There were two versions made: with or without the “Stuart Little 2″ movie scenes.

“I’m Alive” became a worldwide hit, hitting top 10 in many countries, including number 3 on the United World Chart. It was certified platinum in Belgium (50,000) and gold in France (250,000).

The track was remixed by Joe Bermudez, Johnny Rocks and Ric Wake. The latter used a sample of Blondie’s 1979 hit “Heart of Glass.”

Dion performed “I’m Alive” five nights a week during her show “A New Day…” at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. It was released on the “A New Day… Live in Las Vegas” CD in 2004 and “Live in Las Vegas – A New Day…” DVD in 2007.
