Country Report of Mahasvara Nusantara. Indonesia ACL Section.
The activity of music in Indonesia for the past 3 years are more concentrated in developing traditional music from almost all over Indonesia, mainly in Sumatra Island such as in Toba, Lampung, Jambi etc. and also in some other island outside Java, we spent a lot of time and energy to motivate their spirit to keep maintaining and improving their music before they are fading away.
A lot of interesting new music based from the local tradistion styles and instruments after we run LOKOVASIA (Conservation & Innovation on Traditionlal Musik of Indonesia)
