 INTERACTION

This time, we focus on the different music of Southeast Asia, their similarities with
our own music; the basic elements of music and how they express their feelings
towards each other, history, beliefs, and their environment through vocal and
instrumental music in Southeast Asia.

INDONESIAN MUSIC
The traditional music of Indonesian tribes uses percussion
instruments. Percussions instruments are instruments in which the
sound is produced by striking, scraping, or shaking an object.
Like those of the other Asian countries, the musical system of
Indonesia is the product of the different musical styles found
between the music of the Ancient civilizations of Java and those of other native
cultures along the Southeast Asian borders.
Number of songs have been written for school children and the songs are centered
on their lives and on the happenings in villages.

Listen to the song, Burung Kakak Tua. While listening, look at the chart
