It is worth noting a prominent figure in qasidah development Tuti Alawiyah, a former leader of Asyafiiyah pesantren, who played a great role in setting up Lasqi movement. Zulkarnain (2004, xviii) noted that in the middle of the 1960s, Nur Aisyah Djamil from North Sumatra established the first qasidah group which she named “nasyid”, the acronym of her name. Early in Indonesian qasidah history, the significant female role cannot be overlooked, recalling the relatively important role of women as musicians in traditional Southeast Asian ritual. It has a goal (and to some extent, still is) to present government programs so that they were in accordance with the norms and values of Islam for Indonesia. Lasqi (Lembaga Seni Qasidah Indonesia) as a movement has a patron-client relationship with the New Order in supporting the Islamizing of Indonesia.
