Dangdut - Campur Sari

Millennials Have Dangdut Fever 

          This happening in Indonesia right now, in past only parents or 70-80's people really love dangdut song. Dangdut is the mixing of various music from several regions in the world such as Malay, Hindustani, and Arabic which are brought and absorbed and then collaborated into musical harmony.

         Indonesia has a legendary king of dangdut, he is Rhoma Irama, and the godfather of the broken heart, Didi Kempot. Didi Kempot is a Javanese singer, most of his songs are broken heart songs and really represent the feeling of the broken heart people, cheated on or left married. This music most known as Music Campursari is a kind of keroncong orchestra whose names and musical instruments are combined with gamelan music instruments and dangdut (electric) music instruments.

          This time not only old people love this music but young people or millennials enjoy this music. One of Didi's songs that really viral now is pamer bojo anyar/ Javanese  (showing off a new wife) with accompaniment slogan cendol dawet/ Javaness - kind of traditional drinks from Java. This song really good if you listen to while dancing

         Hereby I attach the video, show that millennials really have dangdut fever and they love it, "Dangdut is the music of my country" (Project Pop, 2015)
