Change and Identity in the Music Cultures of Lombok, Indonesia


Add your own review!

Overview

This longitudinal study weaves the complex stories of many disparate musics into an account of quests for identities that illuminates Lombok’s history, its complex religious and ethnic composition, and its current political circumstances. It focuses on agents, musicians and leaders on the ground, and the socioreligious and artistic changes that transformed many music forms. The book outlines the years of political difficulty for music and years of transition and government interventions to remake musics, and identifies the emerging ideologies and developments that laid the groundwork for a diversity of musics – traditional, Islamic, popular – to simultaneously exist in an unprecedented way.

Reviews

"""It is not every day that a book on Lombok sees the light and certainly not a book that looks at its subject from so many different angles and over such a long period of time. [...] This book is a must for those who wish to understand Lombok but also to understand Indonesian national phenomena seen from the relatively micro-environment of Lombok."" – Dick van der Meij, Digital Repository of Endangered and Affected Manuscripts in Southeast Asia (DREAMSEA), University of Hamburg"
