	Dangdut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dangdut is a genre of Indonesian popular music which is partly derived from Arab, Indian, and Malay folk music.
		A dangdut band usually consists of a lead singer backed by a band of four to eight musicians.
		The concerts of major dangdut stars are also broadcast on television; in 2003 singer Inul Daratista became the subject of much controversy and criticism from conservatives over her suggestive style of dancing (erotic dance) during televised shows.

		elvy was the undisputed 'queen of dangdut' during the music's golden age in the mid 1970s to '80s, before (arguably) the raw energy and blistering musicianship got drowned out by drum machines and synthesizers.

		Dangdut's wide audiences owes to the fact that it is a heady mix of many strains.
		Dangdut has the potential of becoming the dance music of the East, like Salsa or Lambada and this is what the legislators should consider, says Inul.

		Dangdut lyrics are no longer just laments, and its singers are no longer 'second-class singers'—they now own cars and houses.

		But since the topic of social commentary was raised in the notes, in connection with dangdut, we should point out that at the same time that the incidence of social protest in dangdut has decreased, it has become more common in the songs of some non-dangdut singers popular with the youth audience.

	Lockard: Rhoma Irama
		Dangdut emerged from the cultural melting pot of Jakarta, a city sometimes compared to the spicy Indonesian salad gado gado because of its assimilation and intermingling of peoples and ideas arriving from outside.
		One cabinet minister characterized dangdut as "caterwauling"; another detractor called it "dog crap music." These attitudes among high officials resulted in most of Rhoma's songs and films being banned from government radio and television for a decade beginning in the late 1970s; he was also prohibited from performing live shows in Jakarta.
		And some officials praised dangdut as "part of our developing culture" and "the lawful owner of the republic." This suggests a certain co-optation, but also a realization that dangdut would not wither away; it had become a longterm, increasingly sophisticated part of Indonesian life.

		The typical dangdut band setup will have electric guitars, a drum kit and keyboard matched with kendang drums (similar to an Indian tabla) with suling (bamboo flute) and mandolin often thrown in as well.
		Dangdut is fun to dance to but does have its limits.

	Freemuse: Indonesia: Inul Daratista has overcome censorship
		Dangdut is a very popular Indonesian music genre derived from Indian, Arab and Malay styles, but it often incorporates a variety of other world influences as well.
		Dangdut has long been ripe with sexual innuendos and suggestiveness, but “Inul’s physical portrayal of the words and their meaning was something never attempted by those who came before her” (Jakarta Eye, “Dangdut Comes of Age-Sex and the Village”).
		In the 1970s and 1980s, Rhoma Irama popularized dangdut, tamed its sexual attitude, and began to use it to spread the message of Islam – collectively making it fit for mass commercial appeal.

	Dangdut trendy - Inside Indonesia 78
		The techno-hybrid grooves of ethnic house music and dangdut trendy are assembled from a bewildering array of musical genres: sampled snippets of African American slang, bits of Hollywood movie dialogue, rhythmic patterned shouts (senggak) reminiscent of West Javanese traditional music, and hip hop drum loops.
		Since dangdut is itself a combination of Indian film song, Western hard rock, disco and Arabic pop (among other things) and regional pop is already a blend of Western pop and indigenous musical elements, the new dance music styles are essentially hybrids of hybrids.
		In Indonesia, where the tendency to romanticise ‘traditional culture’ is strong among both national elites and Western observers, the techno-hybrid grooves of ethnic house music are a powerful antidote to the widespread notion that the rakyat kecil, the so-called ‘little people’, are somehow less ‘modern’ than those in the dominant class.
