Lagu Timur

Lagu Timur is a genre of traditional music from East Indonesia, particularly from the Maluku Islands. It is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the sasando, a stringed instrument made from palm leaves, and the kolintang, a set of small gongs. The music is typically upbeat and often features call-and-response singing. Lagu Timur is often performed at traditional ceremonies and festivals, and is an important part of the cultural heritage of the Maluku Islands.
