Description

"INDONESIA VOL. 15: SOUTH SULAWESI STRINGS" is a CD compilation by various artists, released on June 15, 1998. This recording captures the traditional music of South Sulawesi, where local cultures have adapted foreign string instruments to Indonesian musical aesthetics. The album features performances on two-stringed lutes, lutes likely originating from Arabia, violins, and zithers. This music often accompanies acrobats and clowns during family celebrations and ceremonies, performed by both professional and informal duets, trios, or ensembles. Recorded in 1996, it offers an authentic glimpse into the region's rich musical heritage.
