Florentini Deliana Winki was born in Balai Semandang village, Simpang Hulu sub-district, Ketapang district, West Kalimantan, August 16, 2001.
Delly Sape, her nickname, is the third of four children. The first time he saw and recognized the sape instrument was in the 6th grade of elementary school. At that time he saw senior sape musicians performing on TV and playing sape instruments. That's when he began to fall in love with the tones of sape music. She is young, energetic and beautiful. Her fingers are so flexible and skillful in plucking every string of Borneo's unique music. In the midst of her busy schedule as a student at Trisakti College of Tourism Jakarta, she still takes the time to preserve culture.
Especially in the field of traditional Dayak music called sape. For him, sape music is his best friend and companion. Wherever he is, he will always bring his sape instrument to accompany his life steps.
But who would have thought. In his young age, he has performed introducing Bornean musical instruments in several regions outside Kalimantan. For example, in West Java, Jakarta and the island of the Gods (Bali).
He has also performed to fill the event during the Dayak presidential election (MADN) at Menara Paninsula hotel Jakarta, Saturday, June 19, 2021.
In an important and sacred moment for the Dayak people, of course, many historical records were carved. One of them is the presence of a figure named Florentini Deliana Winki. She enlivened the event by playing a sape instrument, a sign that the historic moment had reached its peak.
Delly is also often invited to perform on the sape, in various events outside Kalimantan, for example;
Performed in Bali in the making of a Dayak tribal film, entitled "Lost Love" on December 6, 2020.
At the Bali International Indigenous Film Festival, on December 12-13, 2020.
Performing at the East Kalimantan regional art event at Anjungan Kaltim, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah Jakarta (TMMI) on March 22, 2021.
National Conference of the National Dayak Customary Council (MADN) on June 19, 2021 in Jakarta.
In 2014, Delly and her brother established a non-formal school called "Sekolah Adat Arus Kualan", in Tahak and Sungai Bansi villages. The non-formal school is based on culture, tradition, environment, and literacy.
In the midst of her busy schedule, Delly takes the time to return to her hometown and teach children at the Arus Kualan traditional school. Delly teaches the children about traditional games, weaving beads, making traditional clothes, dancing and literacy.
Delly hopes that the relevant government can pay more attention to the traditional sape musical instrument. Be observant of the potential of regional children. Especially in the field of traditional sape music. Hopefully, the government can help facilitate and provide enough space for regional children. So that they can explore themselves more through traditional music.
Sape is used by the Dayak people as a musical instrument that brings together feelings of joy and sorrow (an expression of one's soul). This is because sape music is usually played following the feelings of the player or plucker. The Dayak tribe lives in the open air, making sape music follow the atmosphere of the surrounding nature. The twang of the melody is not only heard through the instrument, but sounds mesmerizing and fascinates the listener.
The rhythm of sape music has its own characteristics that are different from other musical instruments. The strains of sape music can give the listener goosebumps, touching the depths of one's soul. The rhythm in each note of sape music is believed to calm, soothe the heart, entertain, create a sense of awe at God's power, strengthen the soul, and is used in medical therapy in a hospital in Kalimantan.
Delly hopes that the young Dayak generation will continue to preserve the culture and traditional music of the sape.
