Mon Jun 19 202336. Keroncong is a traditional Indonesian music style that originated in the late 19th century. It is characterized by the use of ukulele-like instruments and enchanting vocals that create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. The genre has evolved over time, with modern versions incorporating electric guitars, keyboards, and drums. Despite being considered old-fashioned by most Indonesian youth, the melancholic spirit of traditional acoustic Keroncong has been recorded by Krontjong Poesaka Moresco Toegoe Jakarta-based in Tugu. The genre is also being evolved in new directions by Indo artists in the Netherlands. A typical Keroncong group includes a singer, two "kroncongs" (ukuleles), guitars, violins, a flute, and sometimes a cello and percussion. The melodies were influenced by the sardonic Portuguese style of Fado and mid-tempo rhythms similar to those found in Mozambique and Madagascar. Keroncong is sort of similar to Japanese enka and Thai luk thung music.
