[hitosato]

sdada

[hitosato]

isnt it 'Dayung Sampan?'

which is of course 'Dayung Sampan sampai Batavia' but known as 'Dayung Sampan sampai Singapura' in Sg.

But the second song is definitely Indo :D *woot!*

'..mana di mana.. anak kambing saya..'♪

Third one 'Di Tanjung Katong' for sure.

[hendrahacker]

Music spreads far and wide even across cultures... Even WESTERN string orchestras play chinese songs... So its not uncommon for it to happen =)

[JLC981]

So it's an Indonesian instrument playing a Chinese song. Hrm. Interesting mix of cultures...

[gnail3z]

the song is tian mi mi, it's a chinese song.

[SekarTelaga]

its indonesian for sure. the songs very familiar, but dont remember the title. Angklung is from Sunda, jawa island and kulintang is from kalimantan (borneo) island..

There are some countries copycat indonesian cultures and even patent it as their heritage,shamelessly.this already happenned to anklung..how come a sundanesse culture become malay culture???!!!

[lershahid]

These are all cultures of Malay Archipelago. don't use border of modern states like Indonesia or Malaysia to divide this common heritage. For example, Islam was started by Arab people, are you saying that Indonesia "copies" Arab's religion???

[hand15]

'Common Heritage' and 'Malay Archipelago' are such ridiculous excuses. It is just like you treated all the cultures in Southeast Asia (specifically Malaysia and Indonesia) as one culture and hijack the cultural identities of many closely related ethnics to Malay ("Serumpun" they say) as Malay's culture.

[hand15]

It is just like the cultures of East Asia (China, Korea, and Japan). It is ridiculous to see Korean promote 'sushi' as their culture base on 'common heritage' with Japan. Further more China, Korea, and Japan surely has common heritage like the use of Chinese Character (Hanzi, Hanja, Kanji). No single Japanese and Korean claiming this character as 'Japanese Character' or 'Korean Character' or 'East Asian Character', but 'Chinese Character'.

[hand15]

Just like this Angklung! It's surely "Sundanese (or perhaps Javanese) Musical Instrument", not "Malay Musical Instrument" as what the Malay (in Malaysia) called it (Indonesia has Malay too, but they know which culture is theirs and which is not).

[walagri]

It's Sundanese, mate. They are different from Javanese, in language, culture and so on. Sundanese and Javanese have only one thing in common: they live in Java island ;p oh and Javanese never claims that Angklung and other Sundanese culture as theirs, eventhough some Sundanese might be migrated to Javanese region for thousands years..haha..

[hendrahacker]

its not spanish.

[pasoepati10]

this is indonesia

the ultimate in diversity

we have more than 17.550 islands

hundreds of tribes with different languages

with different cultures

but we are only one, we are indonesia

[aaroncurley]

i hate spanish. because it make our native music not popular.

[Slivester]

pride of millennia!

mi rocks!

[hendrahacker]

Thanks Tze Yee.

[Slivester]

Dude. Nobody call me by that name.

[KhmerFlower]

wow that's Filipino music? Its beautiful..Sounds like Chinese or Indochinese like Khmer...

[sarengatng]

Hey there... none of those gueses right! It's Indonesian, yes authentic Indonesian... None of those countries had ever invented this masterpiece. Indonesia is the largest country among those in south east asia region. Just for your information....

[Saiaopinoi]

The music is neither Filipino or Indonesian. The "Chai Mi Mi" is a Chinese folk song. The angklung is, yes, Indonesian.

[venomscorpion]

are you sure that chai mi mi is original Chinese song? I heard that it was originally Indonesian song, called Dayung Sampan. But then some Indonesian born Chinese who returned to their homeland (mainland China) bring along the Chinese version of the song that it became popular as Chai Mi Mi or Tian Mi Mi. I heard this story from a Chinese teacher.
