1001 Other Albums<p><strong>Idjah Hadidjah – Tonggeret (1987,&nbsp;Indonesia)</strong></p><p>Our next spotlight is on number 753 on <a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The List</a>, submitted by mbr.</p><p>This album features recordings made between 1979 and 1986 featuring a popular Sundanese singer, Idjah Hadidjah, backed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gugum_Gumbira" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gugum Gumbira</a>‘s orchestra(/dance troupe), the Jugula Group. I don’t have the knowledge nor vocabulary to describe this fantastic music, so I’m not going to ruin it by trying. Instead, here’s what musician and writer Dennis Rea has to say about it:[1]</p><blockquote><p><em>Tongerret</em> showcases the sinuous, melismatic female vocals of Indonesia’s Idjah Hadidjah, who performs songs spanning three genres of regional Sundanese music: the concert music styles <em>kliningan </em>and <em>celempungan</em>, and the dance music <em>jaipongan</em>. The latter style, adapted by renowned composer/choreographer Gugum Gumbira from the earlier, “disreputable” Ketuk Tilu tradition of Sundanese dance music, enjoyed immense popularity throughout Indonesia in the late 1970s and early 1980s, catapulting Idjah Hadidjah to national stardom. Although <em>jaipongan </em>music shares instrumentation (gongs and metallophones) and certain formal similarities with Indonesia’s better-known gamelan (ceremonial percussion orchestra) tradition, its forceful drumming and erotic overtones give it a much more contemporary sound. The <em>kliningan </em>and <em>celempungan </em>selections, by contrast, are imbued with a dreamy, soft-focus quality, heightened by Hadidjah’s richly ornamented vocalizing.</p></blockquote><p>For more information on the jaipongan genre in particular, some kind soul uploaded a great scan of the extensive liner notes for the album – click <a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/223861-Idjah-Hadidjah-Tonggeret?image=5520656.SW1hZ2U6NDM5ODQ2NDA%3D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> if you’re interested!</p><p>Note that, in 2003, this album was reissued under the title <em>Indonesia: West Java – Sundanese Jaipong and Other Popular Music</em>, so I’ve included both album covers below.</p><p>Happy listening!</p><ul><li><a href="https://album.link/ca/i/326586487" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Songlink: Idjah Hadidjah – <em>Tonggeret</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/223861-Idjah-Hadidjah-Tonggeret" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Discogs: Idjah Hadidjah – <em>Tonggeret</em></a></li></ul><ol><li>Quote from: <a href="https://www.dennisrea.com/cd-reviews" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dennisrea.com/cd-reviews</a> ↩︎</li></ol><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/celempungan/" target="_blank">#celempungan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/gugum-gumbira/" target="_blank">#GugumGumbira</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/idjah-hadidjah/" target="_blank">#IdjahHadidjah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/indonesia/" target="_blank">#Indonesia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/jaipong/" target="_blank">#jaipong</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/jaipongan/" target="_blank">#jaipongan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/jugula-group/" target="_blank">#JugulaGroup</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/kliningan/" target="_blank">#kliningan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/music/" target="_blank">#music</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/sundanese/" target="_blank">#Sundanese</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/sundanese-music/" target="_blank">#SundaneseMusic</a></p>
