The dynamics exposed to the traditional music of the Mukomuko coast in Bengkulu province have made researchers interested in uncovering the genealogy of the identity of the Sokora lute. Sokora lute art as a result of cultural assimilation from outside (Gujarat/India) of the people of the coastal city of Mukomuko has become local traditional music with local cultural wisdom values, both in the sociocultural context and in performances. This research is a qualitative phenomenological research type that emphasizes describing the object being observed to understand and provide in-depth information contextually and factually. Based on qualitative methods and a cultural studies approach, this research explores, explains, and describes ethically, emically, and holistically the transformation of local cultural wisdom values of traditional music of the Bengkulu coastal community.

Genealogically, Kecapi Sokora initially functioned as a form of solo music and oral literature developed among the nobility in Mukomuko.The Sokora Harp Performance represents an art characteristic of the aristocratic society during the time when Mukomuko port served as a transit center for traders, particularly from Gujarat, India.The instrument itself, Kecapi Sokora, is a melodic instrument belonging to the chordophone family, distinguished by its seven-note diatonic scale, unlike the typically pentatonic scales found in other traditional instruments.

Penelitian lanjutan perlu dilakukan untuk mendokumentasikan secara komprehensif variasi repertoar Kecapi Sokora yang masih ada, termasuk lirik lagu, melodi, dan konteks sosialnya, untuk mencegah kepunahan pengetahuan tradisional ini. Selain itu, studi mendalam mengenai teknik pembuatan Kecapi Sokora, termasuk pemilihan bahan, proses konstruksi, dan pengetahuan turun-temurun para pengrajin, dapat mengungkap nilai-nilai budaya dan keterampilan unik yang terkandung di dalamnya. Terakhir, penelitian tentang peran Kecapi Sokora dalam ritual atau upacara adat masyarakat Mukomuko, serta bagaimana seni ini dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memperkuat identitas budaya lokal dan mempromosikan pariwisata berkelanjutan, akan memberikan wawasan berharga bagi pelestarian dan pengembangan seni ini di masa depan. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang Kecapi Sokora sebagai warisan budaya yang berharga dan relevan bagi masyarakat Mukomuko.
