Music indonésienne
The expression music indonésienne recovers two realities:
-
music suitable for each ethnicities populating the republic of Indonesia,
- music which the citizens of the aforesaid the republic recognize like pertaining to the whole of the nation, and not with a given group.
This cleavage does not recut that between tradition and modernity, but is crossed by this last. Indeed, if one speaks for example about Javanese music , this expression recovers the traditional music as well, that it is country-woman, nun or of court, that the pop music or other current popular forms.
Moreover, a form suitable for a group can be adopted by other Indonésiens very well, in which case it becomes national. It is the case, for example, of musical genres originating in the Moluques, or of songs of the country batak of the north of Sumatra.
