Sang Penyair

Samsul Bahri, penghulu khonde (Acehnese folk poet), built a dance studio in 2000. Although he never went to school, this had no bearing on his passion to continue running the dance studio and his life. Without realizing it, the existence of the dance studio made his name often used by unknown parties for personal gain. One of Samsul Bahri’s hopes is to have a successor so that the existence of penghulu khonde will remain. However, his hope is slowly slipping away as the younger generation, including his own children, are no longer recognizing and aspiring to be khonde.
