'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.
