Music of Indonesia-Dangdut

As Indonesia people, you must know what is dangdut, right ? Dangdut also popular not only in Indonesia, but another countries too. As usual, I will explain a little bit about dangdut. From these sites, dangdut is a genre of Indonesian popular music that originated in the 1960s. Dangdut has been becoming respectable for a long time. It has a special power for Indonesians precisely because it is Indonesian, not Western. Dangdut also has meaning as “Indonesian” in a different sense, as virtually the only cultural form not identified with any particular ethnic group.

Interesting, right ?
