Rabab Pasisia is both the name of a genre and an instrument affiliated with the southwestern coastal region called Pasisia Salatan. As an instrument, it is a four-stringed fiddle modeled on a violin. As a genre, the performer uses the fiddle to accompany vocals that draw on kaba. Like saluang, the performances accompany community and life-cycle events, performed over night. Sometimes other performers may join for the opening session of gembira songs using percussion. Rabab Pasisia is relatively prominent in the recording industry. It is the Pasisia Salatan genre that is equivalent to saluang in musical importance and prevalence.
