This article outlines the trajectories of three genres of Indonesian popular music—kroncong, stambul songs, and gambang kromong—from the nineteenth century into the twenty-first century. Each was prominent in commercial recording and radio in the colonial era before World War II but subsequently slid to the margins of media activity; and each underwent great shifts in social context and audience composition over time. The article traces what is known of these genres before the advent of mass media, how they fared in the media embrace, and what happened to them after media attention shifted elsewhere.
Artikel ini menguraikan riwayat tiga jenis musik populer Indonesia—kroncong, lagu stambul, dan gambang kromong—dari abad kesembilan belas sampai dengan abad kedua puluh satu. Ketiga jenis musik tersebut pernah menonjol di media massa (rekaman dan radio) pada zaman kolonial tetapi kemudian terpinggirkan, dan semuanya mengalami perubahan besar dalam hal konteks sosial dan penggemarnya. Artikel ini menelusuri ketiga jenis tersebut sebelum munculnya media massa, perkembangannya dalam pelukan media, dan riwayatnya sesudah sorotan media bergeser ke jenis-jenis lain.
