Keroncong
Keroncong is a type of music that comes from Indonesia's influence. It was introduced to the Malay Peninsula in the late 19th century when many Indonesian workers from Java, especially from Java, migrated to Malaysia to find employment. People from Java, do not forget to bring together their art, including gamelan music, keroncong, music for wayang kulit, kepang kuda, barongan, hamdulok, katoperak and so on. The areas where there are many keroncong music activities are in places where there are many Javanese and their descendants as in the state of Johor, on the west coast of Selangor and Perak. In the beginning, keroncong songs played by local people are songs from Indonesia. However, after World War II, there was a local songwriter who created Malay-style keroncong songs such as Zubir Said, Ahmad Jaafar, P. Ramlee, Mohd. Wan Yet, Johar Bahar, Sudar Mohammad, Zainal Ibrahim and lately Mahzan Manan and Ariff Ahmad. In Indonesia there are many famous keroncong songwriters including Ismail Marzuki, Gesang R.
