Maintaining Using identity through musical performance; seblang and gandrung of Banyuwangi, East Java (Indonesia)

This study deals with the development of seblang and gandrung, two of the oldest rural performance traditions of the Banyuwangi region in East Java. When, as a result of the conquest of Blambangan (the last Hindu state on Java) by the Dutch, the local court culture ceased to exist and rural traditions gained in prominence, they eventually formed the foundation for the new complex of genres that can nowadays be found in the area. Because of Banyuwangi's geographical location, both Javanese and Balinese culture have played important roles in the formation of these traditions, which are nowadays seen by many as a symbol of local (Using) ethnicity.
