In this era of globalization, traditional musical instruments seem to be inferior to foreign cultures that have entered Indonesia, little by little causing Indonesian people to abandon traditional musical instruments. That doesn't mean we can't listen to music other than traditional Indonesian music, but we also have to take the time to appreciate and try so that people can preserve traditional Indonesian musical instruments. The Kolotik musical instrument is a traditional musical instrument originating from Ciamis Regency with the main ingredients being coconut shells and bamboo. The sound that sounds unique makes this musical instrument often used as a souvenir from Cimaragas District, to be precise in Beber village. The purpose of this dedication is to introduce and preserve "Kolotik" to the younger generation, because today's young generation prefers western art and culture. The expected results of this activity are that the younger generation can get to know Kolotik as a musical instrument that was created in the Beber village and also increase the awareness of the younger generation about the arts in their surroundings. They are also moved to support cultural preservation and help protect local culture and participate when there are activities in the framework of cultural preservation, teach that culture to future generations so that the culture is not destroyed and can still survive, Love their own culture without demeaning and harassing the culture of others.
