	Indonesia: National Geographic World Music
		Music is also intertwined in the spiritual practice of the four other official religions of Indonesia: Christianity (divided into Catholicism and Protestantism), Hinduism and Buddhism.
		Indonesia's expansiveness is fragmented by the seas, straits and oceans that separate one island from another, and there has been little acceptance of or appreciation for the music of one region by members of another area, partially as a result of this segmentation.
		Music in modern Indonesia is constantly changing: urban popular music continues to grow in popularity and new musical forms, genres and ideas develop.

		Indonesia is culturally diverse, and every one of the 13, 000 islands has its own cultural and artistic history and character.
