Tongerret showcases the sinuous, melismatic female vocals of Indonesia's Idjah Hadidjah, who performs songs spanning three genres of regional Sundanese popular music: the concert music styles kliningan and celempungan, and the dance music jaipongan. 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 jaipongan 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 Kliningan and Celempungan selections, by contrast, are imbued with a dreamy, soft-focus quality, heightened by Hadidjah's richly ornamented vocalizing. --Dennis Rea

5 out of 5 stars The Quiet Storm Indonesian Style.......2007-07-02

Stumbled over this when I was reading *Ode* magazine a year or so ago, and recently decided to buy the cd on a whim. Glad I did. From the first sounds, I was like - whoah - this is different. Sumptuous and erotic - put this on late at night, with some candles, Kush incense, some pillows, and a lover, and its on. However, this is good anytime. I have an eclectic music collection with everything from Mahalia Jackson to Enya to Coldplay to Coltrane and this fits firmly at the top of the rotation. So glad I found it.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful 4-D sound.......1999-09-04

5 out of 5 stars This CD is Slammin!.......1998-09-11

hard kicking asian break beat dosed with crazy party chants, heavy gongs, slow ambient asian violins, and beautiful soulful singing.

This CD is nuts. I got a copy on vinyl so I can speed it up to 45 RPM!

5 out of 5 stars Traditional East Java Disco Music.......2000-11-17

Jaipongan is comparable to disco, cha-cha, Brazillian samba, or Argentinian tango. The music is full of dynamic beat from an instrument called Kendang or Gendang (two sided drums-like instrument that sounded by hand). Listen to Jaipongan, and your body will shake follows the rythm of Kendang. If you're looking an alternative music and an alternative style of dancing, than Jaipongan is perfect for you.
