The History of
Indonesian Music
By. Bayu Hermawan
Indonesian
music, at the first time is affected by foreigners. The first foreigners are
from the foreign religion, Hindu-Budha and Islam.Hindu-Budha used music for
their Religion’s ritual and the otherside was developing for Palace’s music as
an show and entertain. Gamelan music is a basic music of it, it was very famous
in java. Javanese music is basicly branching from Gamelan music, majority of
tradition music in java had a Gamelan music colour. Gamelan music itself was
consist of five groups ; Balungan, Blimbingan, Pencon, Kendang, Pelengkap. At
the other side, Islam also has their own music ways in Indonesia, their music
majority is comsist of Gambus and Rebana. From that chase, so we know that
Indonesian music have some music group’s of gambus until right now. As far as I
know, Islam also have including their music style to their religion such as
Rebana and Gambus.
The
second foreigners are come from West’s People that had a adventure to the East
Side, include Indonesia. Their also give a colour in Indonesian music at that
time. They have also their own instrument, for example ; violin, cello,
guitar,flute, and ukulele. So as long as time flow, Indonesian people may able
to combine them to be Indonesian music itself. At first time, we have a
Kroncong’s music as Indonesian music.
