Indonesian music?
I know about tradicional gamelan music, but I'd like to listen some "modern" things. I love rock, but I think I won't understand a word. Could you recomend any famous slow, old, love song (in the mood of the Filipino kundiman, I love them) of I can find any English translation? I would learn better with music!
Thanks in advance to you all!

if you want modern music mix with traditional javanese music, i suggest you "saratuspersen", you can search on google. saratuspersen is a group band from Bandung, East Java.
Or you can try Sudjiwo Tedjo with his "anyam - anyaman" song, some people in Indonesia categorized Sudjiwo Tedjo song's as Kidung (poem sung).
People in Indonesia are wrong to introduce dangdut as our original music, Dangdut comes from India (Hindustan), one of the differences are, in India using tabla, in Indonesia using Gendang or Ketipung as the main Instrument.
The original music of Indonesia (Java) is called Keroncong, the Legend artist are Manthous, Gesang, Waljinah, Anjar Any and many more. When Keroncong mixed with Dangdut it's called Campursari. The best artist of Campursari is Didi Kempot (My community "Rockabilly Indonesia" called him Elvis Presley in Java.
FYI, every Island in Indonesia have their own traditional music!
So .. Enjoy our culture. .
