Notes

Extensive notes and map complement these remarkable recordings.

Melodic gong ensembles and male singing with percussion are found throughout Sumatra. Two of each are heard here: West Sumantran talempong (in two contrasting forms); kulintang from Lampung, at the southern end of the island; the choral didong songs of the Gayo in Aceh, and salawat dulang, competitive duet singing from West Sumatra that surprisingly uses popular songs as a vehicle for texts on points of Islamic doctrine.
