Recorded in widely scattered locations in Sumatra and in three islands of Riau. 73 minutes. “Once again the producers of this series have found small gems from a large and complicated world, and presented them with quality and a ream of good liner notes.” CMJ Tienda In the continuing growing collection of music from Indonesia presented by Smithsonian Folkways, this volume is a standout. It focuses on a number of artists on the Malay Peninsula (where Singapore is located) and parts of Sumatra. The Islamic music called Zapin, performed with oud and voice, has a heavy Arabic influence, rich and formal in its delivery. Ronggeng offers a more raucous sound, using tuned drums and accompanied by fiddle and other small string and wind instruments. The album is rounded out with some short excerpts from two formal theatrical styles, Mak Yong and Mendu, that are revealing but frustratingly brief and incomplete. –Louis Gibson
