Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
In Indonesia, there are several types of music that are thought to originate from the Arabs. This is because their namesuse Arabic. However, research needs to be conducted to find out whether this is true. Some say that the first Arabic music that entered Indonesia was Arabic music in the Arabian Gulf. After the rise of mass media in the twentieth century, there were also Arabic music originating from Egypt and the Mediterranean to the East or the Levant which is a legacy of Mesopotamian culture, Persian culture called the golden age of Arab civilisation in the ninth to thirteenth centuries, and succeeding Turkish culture which ruled the Arab countries in the sixteenth century. Another opinion says that one aspect that appeals the interest of certain communities in Indonesian society towards music and songs from Arabia was because the song contentshave Islamic teachings. This article attempts to explore the history of the spread of this type of music and its influence in Indonesia.
