The aims of this research are as follows: (1) to study the history and development of the Dikir Riap performance for Dawud Headman band of Sai Kong Din Tai in social and cultural contexts; (2) to collect and record songs in the Dikir Riap performance for Dawud Headman band of Sai Kong Din Tai. The results of the study revealed that Master Praman Nuruddin, or Chaeman, was the one who initiated the introduction of Dikir Riap performances and coached the people in the community. One of Master Chaeman's descendants who has been inherited from generations to generations of Dikir Riap performances is Master Suthat Yidnoradin or Dawud Headman. The Dikir Riap performance is a performance dedicated to praising the Prophet Muhammad, accompanied by music. This performance is a cultural style of Thai-Malay Muslims, which combines Thai culture. The main instrument used to accompany the Dikir Riap is the Rebana drum. Arabic verses are based on the Barzanji scriptures. In addition, the musical cultural blend of drum pattern formed by the reconciliation of the Rebana drum, Traditional Thai Idiomatic song drum pattern, Traditional Thai song, and Thai country melody (Lukthung) were also found. The chorus and melody were collected and recorded in a Thai music notation system as a guideline to apply the Dikir Riap performance style for use in education for young people. It preserves and develops the performance style, and is considered an ethnic symbol that connects Thai-Malay Muslims together.
