Song in the Sumatran Highlands

Place: Guguak Tabek Sarojo

Guguak Tabek Sarojo is a nagari in Kecamatan Koto IV in Kabupaten Agam, formed from the fusion of two separate nagari: Guguak (which means small hill) and Tabek Sarojo (Lotus Pond), suggesting the ways in which places and place-names evolve over the years. It is a nagari that is known for its goldsmiths.

The nagari is split into two jorong: Guguak Randah, meaning lower Guguak, and Guguak Tinggi, meaning higher Guguak. However, Guguak Randah is actually at a slightly higher elevation than Guguak Tinggi, so it is more a spatial conceptualization than a literal one.
