More incomparable music from the islands of Indonesia is presented in Volume 15 of the Smithsonian Folkways series recorded and compiled by Philip Yampolsky. This series has been exposing the world (and even Indonesia itself) to a myriad of cultural and musical surprises from the country with the globe's third largest population. South Sulawesi's interest in foreign instruments gives this recording its unique perspective. Arabic lutes, European violins, and zithers are all brought together to create rather raucous string-band music that seems to both reflect Indonesian culture and deflect tradition. The featured instruments include kacapi, a zither that might be comparable to a mountain dulcimer. It is strummed in an open fashion, with noted strings playing the melody over a drone. Gambus is a lutelike instrument with heavy, muted strings plucked by the performer. Other tracks use the violin in a distinctly Indonesian fashion. Most of the tracks feature small groups of two or three players, usually just instruments and voice with no percussion. As with all CDs in this series, detailed and highly readable notes on the history, culture, and music are included. --Louis Gibson

This is a 16" Rainstick made from Bamboo in Indonesia. It painted / decorated with a variety of patterns throughout the middle and is about 2" thick. Due to the thickness, it is much heavier than our Cactus Rainsticks. The picture shows several samples of the decoration and the one(s) you receive will be similar, but not identical to the ones shown. Noe that since the wood is Bamboo, it is completely natural for the wood to have cracks that develop during intense heat. This is a normal and natural state for Bamboo.

Dramatic works for vocal ensembles and gong orchestras are the focus of number 17 in Smithsonian Folkways' huge and comprehensive series on the music of Indonesia. This CD focuses on the music of the Dayek people, and to a lesser extent the Meleyu, both of Borneo. It features seven distinctly different types of music from this third largest of the world's islands. They range from works that will be familiar to those who know Indonesia via gamelan but also delve into more unexpected territory. Large vocal ensembles sing in unison, some all female, some mixed gender. There are a number of tracks that show the different types of metal gong ensembles. Most interesting of the set are pieces performed by a bamboo senggayung ensemble. Seven pairs of bamboo tubes are held by seven players, one in each hand, and struck against each other to create an interlocking melody. The sound is surprising, rich in rhythm and melody, extremely structured and precise. Technically excellent recordings are accompanied by detailed historical and musical notes by Philip Yampolsky. --Louis Gibson

This book deals with two major issues: how Indonesian NGOs survived under Suharto's authoritarian rule; and how NGOs contributed to the promotion of democracy in the post-Suharto era. If NGOs are to change from 'development' to 'movement' in democratic post-Suharto Indonesia, they must adjust not only their management and working style, but also their very ideology. This comprehensive study will be an important book for scholars interested in Asian studies, Indonesian politics and development studies.

Kroncong and dangdut are two quite different Indonesian popular music genres that emerged in the capital city, Jakarta. Both styles of music are now "national" musics, sung in the lingua franca, Indonesian, and aimed at all Indonesians regardless of ethnic or regional affiliations. Both rely on Western and other foreign instruments including the violin, cello, flute, banjo, ukulele, and electric guitar, and their musical idioms are basically foreign. Ethnomusicologist Philip Yampolsky's compilation of live and studio recordings of some of the stars of each tradition is an excellent introduction to these popular music styles. Kroncong has its roots in Portuguese songs and instruments. It developed among the poor Eurasians of the late ninetheenth- and early twentieth-century Dutch colonial era in what was then Batavia. The basic accompanying instrument is the kroncong, similar to the ukulele. The emphasis was originally less on the music than the improvised verse form, pantun, which spawned competitions. When kroncong was later taken up by the popular theater and the recording industry, the improvised pantun gave way to fixed lyrics, and the element of competition dropped away. The modern idiom and instrumentation of kroncong were fixed by the late 1930s, and by 1940s and 1950s - a time of war and revolution - the themes of love gave way to patriotism and revolution. Today kroncong is popular mostly amongst the generation now in their 50s and 60s that experienced the fight for Indonesian independence. Dangdut developed among the lower class Javanese pribumi "natives" during the 1960s. It mixes Indian film music, American and British rock, and touches of Middle-Eastern pop. Dangdut has become a dance music, reaching across class to the male youth audience.

The Toba and Karo from North Sumatra developed complex instrumental traditions. The Toba, one of the few societies to use tuned drums to carry a melody, combine them with gongs and oboe-like instruments, creating dynamic melodies and rhythms. The Karo ensemble features expert drumming full of snaps and pops. The Ono Niha people from the island of Nias perform ornate choral songs called hoho, which use only four tones and embody their oral tradition. Unknown outside of Indonesia, these 1990 digital recordings include extensive notes. 72 minutes. "Its variety—in sound, feel, and purpose—is astonishing and inspiring." - Rhythm Music

Although Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world, its history is still relatively unknown. Adrian Vickers takes the reader on a journey across the social and political landscape of modern Indonesia, starting with the country's origins under the Dutch in the early twentieth-century, and the subsequent anti-colonial revolution which led to independence in 1949. Thereafter the spotlight is on the 1950s, a crucial period in the formation of Indonesia as a new nation, followed by the Sukarno years, and the anti-Communist massacres of the 1960s when General Suharto took over as president. The concluding chapters chart the fall of Suharto's New Order after thirty two years in power, and the subsequent political and religious turmoil which culminated in the Bali bombings in 2002. Adrian Vickers is Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Wollongong. He has previously worked at the Universities of New South Wales and Sydney, and has been a visiting fellow at the University of Indonesia and Udayana University (Bali). Vickers has more than twenty-five years research experience in Indonesia and the Netherlands, and has travelled in Southeast Asia, the U.S. and Europe in the course of his research. He is author of the acclaimed Bali: a Paradise Created (Penguin, 1989) as well as many other scholarly and popular works on Indonesia. In 2003 Adrian Vickers curated the exhibition Crossing Boundaries, a major survey of modern Indonesian art, and has also been involved in documentary films, including Done Bali (Negara Film and Television Productions, 1993).

Since the fall of the Suharto regime, forces pressing for regional autonomy have strengthened in Indonesia, with some people arguing that the country is in danger of disintegrating. This book examines a range of issues connected with decentralization and regional autonomy in Indonesia, including particular autonomy movements, the attempts by forces at the centre to resist decentralization, and the impact of decentralization on gender, the environment, education and on ideas about culture and identity.
