Abstract: Merely based on the ideological struggle, the arts play an important role, especially as a means of formingunisonality, group identifi cation and emotional bridge between individuals in bringing “sense” that thegoals of power may easily be achieved. No exception of music; it deliberately created and disseminated forthe sake of its own nature. However, power is not as universal as music; making a claim toward music(songs) in the risk of political contestation may produce ambivalence meanings (ambiguity). In one hand,music tends to be sacred, but a moment later, it is more vulnerable to be alienated or marginalized. In somecases, the practice of politicization oft en ends up banning music and tragedy.
