Editorial Reviews
Gambang Kromong comes from a virtually invisible part of the capital of Indonesia that most people have forgotten. Both performers and audience for this music today live at the edges of Jakarta and in the towns and semi-rural areas beyond. The music is wonderfully disorienting. It combines Indonesian, Chinese, and sometimes European-derived instruments in musical styles, at times reminiscent of gamelan music and at other times recalls small-group jazz of the 1920s and 1930s. "Don't miss the modern stuff—a Dixieland-gamelan head trip you have to hear..." — The Village Voice

Betawi and Beyond,
By jon zimmermann (Vic West) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music Of Indonesia 3: Music From The Outskirts Of Jakarta (Audio CD)
As a novice to Indonesian Music, I was blown away at the content of this album. Not only are the tracks superlative, but the liner notes and geographical information drew you in to a world of passion and prolific creativity. Onde-onde has been playing in my Java Media Player on loop mode.
