Development of Music

GamelanIndonesian gamelan music has been well known and loved by Western cognoscenti for many years. This instrumental ensemble music played on a variety of metal ingots, pots, gongs, and drums (the word gamelan refers to the collection of instruments themselves) has enchanted first-time listeners (including Sir Francis Drake who visited Java in 1580) with its blend of exotic modality and shimmering timbre.

KeroncongThe roots of kroncong date back to the 16th century when sailors brought Portuguese instruments and melodies to Indonesia. These imported elements were absorbed by the local mixed-race Lusophones, who developed an urban music that came to be associated with lower-class rogues. One of the famous song is Bengawan Solo (River Solo), composed by Solonese senior artist Mr. GESANG. Bengawan Solo is not heard only in Solo or Indonesia, but its popularity has crossed the border to other countries of South East Asia & Japan. The popular artists are Gesang, Sundari Sukoco, Mus Mulyadi, etc.

DangdutDangdut is a newer, percussion-based style with strong Muslim influences. Langgan Jawa is a form of kroncong with strong links to other local styles. Also included is some village ronggeng and a guitar-backed style that crosses local, Latin and Indian influences. These 1970s street performances, by market and other itinerant musicians are earthier and, I find, much more interesting than their studio equivalents. The popular artist are Rhoma Irama, Elvy Sukaesih, etc.
