Hi,
Music is said to be a universal language. Indeed it helps to discover and better understand the culture of a country.
What are the most popular music genres in Indonesia? How about traditional music and instruments?
Who are the local artists you would recommend?
Where can you listen to them: are there any concerts or music festival held regularly?
Thank you in advance for participating,
Kenjee

Well....when I stuck in the traffic, I just sing one of my favorite songs:
Country road......take me home, to the place where I belong...

The soul of Indonesia is soothed by the gamelan. If you like ethnomusicology, then it's gamelan for you. Java, particularly the kratons of Yogyakarta and Solo, and all over Bali are the best places to enjoy the gamelan orchestra which is usually accompanied by traditional dancing.
Most popular local music is called dangdut…which I don't personally like at all.
But best of all are the many excellent pop music or rock and roll musicians that abound here in Indonesia.
My favorite, Kis Band Bali…have a listen…
