'Dangdut' music

'Dangdut' music

From Suara Karya

Dangdut music performances attract a large number of people in
Indonesia. This reassuring development is closely related to
TPI's statement that it is the first Indonesian TV station for
dangdut music. Government officials have also come out in support
of dangdut performances.

As music for the people dangdut has a special mission to
educate the people apart from providing entertainment.

It is therefore regrettable that the impression of eroticism
clings to dangdut female performers. There is too much emphasis
on this aspect.

It is only fitting that dangdut music improves its overall
quality. I appeal to organizers of dangdut performances
especially to PAMMI chairman H. Rhoma Irama to ensure that
dangdut music performances stay within their norms.
