Indonesian Rock

Indonesian Rock is a genre of music that originated in Indonesia in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a blend of traditional Indonesian music, such as gamelan, with Western rock and roll. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitars, drums, and bass, as well as its incorporation of traditional Indonesian instruments and melodies. It is often seen as a form of protest music, as it was used to express the frustrations of the youth of Indonesia during the period of political unrest in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
