Gongs and Pop Songs: Sounding Minangkabau in Indonesia by Jennifer A. Fraser (Hardback, 2015)

About this product

Product Information

Fraser discusses the aesthetics and system of ideal musical styles employed by talempong players, the history of the talempong, and, most compellingly, the newer styles of practice, including repertoires that incorporate popular music genres from around the world. The author's discussion of institutionalization, professionalization, and monetization of Minangkau arts in general and talempong styles specifically gives this book broader relevance...SUMMING UP: Recommended. -CHOICE Scholarship on the musical traditions of Indonesia has long focused on practices from Java and Bali, including famed gamelan traditions, at the expense of the wide diversity of other musical forms within the archipelago. Jennifer A. Fraser counters this tendency by exploring a little-kwn gong tradition from Sumatra called talempong, long associated with people who identify themselves as Minangkabau. Grounded in rich ethgraphic data and supplemented with online audiovisual materials, Gongs and Pop Songs is the first study to chronicle the history and variety of talempong styles. It reveals the continued vitality of older modes in rural communities in the twenty-first century, while tracing the emergence of newer ones with radically different aesthetic frames and values. Each talempong style discussed incorporates into its repertoire Minangkabau pop or indigeus songs, both of which have strong associations with the place and people. These contemporary developments in talempong have taken place against a shifting political, social, and ecomic backdrop: the institutionalization of indigeus arts, a failed regional rebellion, and the pressures of a free-market ecomy. Fraser adopts a cognitive approach to ethnicity, asking how people understand themselves as Minangkabau through talempong and how different styles of the genre help create and articulate ethnic sentiments - that is, how they help people sound Minangkabau.
