In the continuing growing collection of music from Indonesia presented by Smithsonian Folkways, this volume is a standout. It focuses on a number of artists on the Malay Peninsula (where Singapore is located) and parts of Sumatra. The Islamic music called Zapin, performed with oud and voice, has a heavy Arabic influence, rich and formal in its delivery. Ronggeng offers a more raucous sound, using tuned drums and accompanied by fiddle and other small string and wind instruments. The album is rounded out with some short excerpts from two formal theatrical styles, Mak Yong and Mendu, that are revealing but frustratingly brief and incomplete. --Louis Gibson

Album Description

Melayu (or "Malay") culture has been influential throughout much of Indonesia. This album presents two widespread Melayu entertainment genres plus songs and instrumental music from two forms of Melayu theater. Among the instruments heard are the gambus (a lute believed to have originated in Arabia), violin, several kinds of drums, and—in the polished ronggéng dance music of Medan—an eloquent accordion. Recorded in widely scattered locations in Sumatra and in three islands of Riau. 73 minutes. "Once again the producers of this series have found small gems from a large and complicated world, and presented them with quality and a ream of good liner notes."-CMJ

Album Description

Recorded in 1993 and 1994, this recording focuses on the music of three indigenous forest societies of western Indonesia. It features songs and drumming for shamanic curing rituals and private singing and instrumental music (played on xylophones or a gong-row) performed for entertainment or emotional release. Extensive notes complement these rare recordings. 70 minutes. "Lots of spirit here." - St. Louis Riverfront Times
