Dokumentasi ini menampilkan Aki Ukis sebagai salah satu pelaku yang sedang sakit stroke sebagai langkah diseminasi Kidung Sawer agar masyarakat termotivasi melestarikan tradisi ini. Karya ini dimaksudkan sebagai apresiasi bagi Aki Ukis dan untuk meringankan biaya pengobatannya.

The Song Sawer is an integral part of the traditional rites of the Sundanese people. It is performed during wedding ceremonies, semitan (circumcision), and baby birth ceremonies. The song contains prayers and life philosophies that serve as guidance and reflects the character of the culture. Unfortunately, these oral traditions are becoming increasingly rare. This documentation showcases Aki Ukis, an individual who has suffered from a stroke, in an effort to preserve the tradition of Kidung Sawer. The goal is to encourage people to maintain this cultural practice. Additionally, this work aims to honor Aki Ukis and alleviate his medical expenses.
