5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding contribution
Yampolsky's curatorship of the Smithsonian Folkways Music of Indonesia series reaches a new height with this release. It's probably more easy than ever to find dangdut music in America, but the selections here are standouts for their revelations about the genre. As far as I know this release also presents the only langgam jawa tracks available on CD in the US. A must-have...

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Dangdut
"Classic Dangdut" from Rhoma Irama. while the dangdut music has developed and blended into contemporary music such as disco-dangdut or even techno dangdut we could always look back to the past and listen to these "original", warm, dangdut beat from the dangdut king himself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Skip the first five songs..., October 7, 2000
This review is from: Music Of Indonesia 2: Indonesian Popular Music - Krongcong, Dangdut & Langgam Jawa (Audio CD)
...they are hokey Asian rock that make Westerners cringe. The real music on this the cd is beautiful Kroncong, which starts on track 7 and continues to the end. Indonesian youth call this music "nostolgic", but you will find the sounds lovely, dignified, and refreshing. These last 40 minutes of music make the cd worth it.
