About this Song
World music as a categorical framework was developed to elevate underrepresented regional sonic traditions from across the globe, moving beyond the narrow Western pop and classical frameworks that long dominated mainstream global music distribution to center works that draw on indigenous, traditional, and regionally specific creative practices passed down through generations of communities far from the industry centers of Europe and North America. Indonesia, a nation made up of more than 17,000 islands that are home to hundreds of distinct cultural groups, has long been a vital source of creative work that finds a home within the global world music canon, its diverse array of artistic lineages weaving together to create a body of work that reflects the complexity and richness of the archipelago’s shared and overlapping cultural identities.
