Indonesian Traditional Music Worldwide which has its own uniqueness

 Indonesia's diverse cultural wealth is owned by Indonesia, one of which is the art of traditional music which has its own uniqueness. Although it has traditional characteristics, in its development some of these types of music are already well known in foreign countries. Even today, there are traditional music art groups from abroad. Some of the traditional musical arts that are well known and worldwide are gamelan, angklung, kolintang, and sasando.


Gamelan

Gamelan is an original Indonesian orchestral music art that has been very popular with foreign people. The most famous gamelan is Javanese gamelan, besides Javanese gamelan there is also Balinese gamelan and Sundanese gamelan. The difference lies in the arrangement of several musical instruments and the tones played. Javanese gamelan has a softer tone and slower tempo, in contrast to the fluent Balinese gamelan and Sundanese gamelan, which is lilting and dominated by the sound of the flute. The difference in the tone of the gamelan is related to the character of the community or the area where the gamelan art originates.


Angklung

Angklung is sounded by vibrating or hitting. The beauty of the sound of angklung can only be enjoyed when the angklung is played together.
