An article copied by Mazef from :
PRISMA, The Indonesian indicator,
Issued by the Institute of Economic and Social Resources,
Education and Information. ( 1987 )
Authors Susan Piper and Sawung Jabo.
Its from an Indonesian governmental monthly in English.
The conclusion is rather gloomy: ( quote )
"When a plurality of popular music can flourish in this country
only then will Indonesian popular music stabilize and reach maturity.
However, it seems the journey is still a long one" ( unquote )
In Mazefs opinion the Indonesian pop music came to full maturity in the years
between 1962 and 1974. The foundations were laid already. Just listen to the playlists on this blog.
Maybe the authors treated this topic in a too academic and elitist way.
