ACCORDING to research from the Institut Teknologi Padang (ITP), popular dangdut music began to emerge since the influence of Indian music, to be precise since the film Boneka India in the late 1950s. Over time, dangdut continues to develop. Until finally modern dangdut was born in the late 1960s or towards the era of the '70s which was much more mature in a contemporary format.
The dynamic character of dangdut allows it to be combined with other music genres. Therefore, nowadays we can hear more contemporary types of dangdut combined with electronic music. With the combination of dangdut with various musical genres, it makes the character of dangdut music more colorful, also brings refreshment and expands its market to the younger generation.
The trend of dangdut koplo that we often hear today is already known to East Java orchestra groups, as well as to dangdut artists on Pesisir Pantura. This type of koplo music is a form of regional dangdut that uses local languages and also incorporates elements of local musical instruments.
Different from conventional dangdut, koplo dangdut has a faster beat. This fast beat seems to invite listeners to sway and have fun.
Not only that, dangdut music continues to grow until finally there is a mixture of other genres, namely electronic music. Uniquely, electronic music, which is a contemporary music genre, can make the younger generation look at dangdut as one of the preferred music genres that is fun to listen to.
Even the music streaming platform JOOX estimates that remixed dangdut koplo music will be more and more in demand in 2021. This is due to a shift in preferences and habits in listening to music, to a wider choice of music.
POPULARITY FIGURES
Of course, the development of dangdut music trends in Indonesia cannot be separated from these legendary dangdut figures: Rhoma Irama, A Rafiq, Ellya Khadam, to Elvy Sukaesih who successfully popularized dangdut in the '60-'70s era.
The existence of dangdut music in Indonesia along the way, has its own characteristics. Typical Indonesian dangdut is different from going home to India and Malay music, although both are the forerunners of the existence of dangdut music.
The popularity of dangdut musicians in the early era skyrocketed because they did not only sing from stage to stage or party to party, but also made dangdut more populist through the various feature films they starred in.
