FEMUSINDO.com - Dangdut is one of the traditional popular music genres from Indonesia, the result of a fusion of music from Indian films with Malay and rock music from the West.
This fusion of musical styles was first used in Jakarta around the end of the 1960s, which contained elements of Hindustani (North Indian), Malay and Arabic music.
The name "dangdut" is an onomatopoeia of the sound of tabla playing which in the dangdut world is called "gendang", namely from the sounds of drums, dang and dut.
Known as the Malay Orchestra
Before becoming dangdut, this music was initially known as the "Malay orchestra" (OM) after changes to its music by M. Mashabi and others.
Dangdut is characterized by the beat of the tabla (Indian percussion instrument) and drums. Dangdut is also heavily influenced by traditional Indian and Bollywood music songs.
Dangdut was influenced by Indian music through Bollywood films performed by Ellya Khadam with the song "Boneka India", so it was born as dangdut in 1968 with the main character Rhoma Irama.
Actually, the term dangdut was once applied to the Malay orchestra by Rhoma Irama with the release of an album with the same title Dangdut in 1971, where he included elements of rock music into the Malay orchestra music.
The Combination of Rhythm and Song
Later the name "dangdut" was attached to the "Orkes Melayu" by Putu Wijaya in Tempo magazine on May 27, 1972 that the song Boneka dari India was a mixture of Malay songs, desert rhythms, and Indian "dang-ding-dut".
This term was later shortened to "dangdut" only, and was used by the magazine to refer to the form of Malay songs influenced by Indian songs.
As popular music, dangdut is still very open to the influence of other forms of music, from keroncong, langgam, degung, gambus, rock, reggae, pop, even electronic dance music, such as house music and others. (*)
