Influence of Indonesian Music
Music bounces from one country to another, heavily influencing culture and styles.
Throughout history, music has influenced other countries, even more so with the internet. In my
essay, I analyze two genres of Indonesia music. I will look at the traditional genre of Talempong
and the performance of Agung. I will also look at a contemporary genre, Dangdut, and the
performance of Siti Badriah. In my essay, I cover the history, culture, and influence of these two
Indonesia genres.
