Project Pop is an Indonesian comedic co-ed group from Bandung. Founded in 1996 as a younger generation of Project-P, they distinguished themselves by writing original music. Their first album, Bakpia vs Lumpia was a commercial and critical failure, but beginning with their 2000 album Tu Wa Ga Pat they found mainstream success. Drawing on current musical trends when writing their songs, they have done songs in pop, dangdut, soul, rock, house, and rap. As of 2017[update], they have released nine albums.

Project Pop's song are generally about current issues, but presented with "humorous lyrics and playful melodies".[1] Their musical genre changes with what is trending;[2] for example, "Bur-Kat" was rap inspired,[5] while their 2003 song "Dangdut is the Music of My Country" (Pop OK Album) was a mix of then-trending Linkin Park-style rock and dangdut. They have done songs in pop, dangdut, soul, rock, house, and rap.[2]

Indonesia is a major focus of my research, particularly the musical, narrative, and theatrical practices of Sundanese people in West Java. In my first book Power Plays, I wrote about the art of Sundanese rod-puppet theater wayang golek and its adjustment to political pressures and economic opportunities in a rapidly modernizing society. Several digital media projects grew out of this work including a cd-rom that accompanies Power Plays and a 6-cd recording of one wayang golek performance.

During the last decade, my research has expanded well beyond the region of West Java. In 2003, I began to explore a genre of Indonesian national popular music called dangdut. Dangdut Stories is a social and musical history of the genre within a range of broader narratives about class, gender, ethnicity and nation in post-independence Indonesia (1945-present). The book traces the history of dangdut from a denigrated form of urban popular music to a prominent role in Indonesian cultural politics and the commercial music industry. As the founder and lead singer of the Pittsburgh-based Dangdut Cowboys, I aim to bring this joyous dance music to audiences outside its home base.

By far the most successful Sibu record company during the1977-1997 period was Tiew Brothers Company, better known as TBC. Mathew TiewSii Hock, a former salesman, and two of his brothers founded TBC in 1977.Initially they sought to market Malay albums but found the competition fromPeninsular record companies to be too stiff, so they chose instead to marketIban pop. Following the initial success of Iban tapes, they began to releasesongs in Melanau, Kayan, Kenyah, Malay, and recently, Chinese. Iban hasnevertheless remained TBC's mainstay. According to company sources, theuniqueness of Iban pop lies in its rojak ('mixed salad') melodies:a melange of Indonesian dangdut, global pop rock, heavy metal, Latin baladasand other styles, all performed to a peculiar Sibu-Chinese beat (27). Onanother level, however, Iban pop is far from unique. If in the 1950s itfollowed Indonesian and Indian patterns, and in the 1960s-1970s Western ones,since the 1980s it has increasingly aligned itself with musical trendsarriving from West Malaysia and absorbed concepts and words from the nationallanguage. Middle-aged Iban critics say today's lyrics lack the subtletyand vigor of both 1960s Iban pop and the best contemporary Malay andIndonesian music. They see the lyrics as often being too "raunchy,"and say that several have been banned from the radio. At any rate, thesesongs are politically safe: unlike some Indonesian popular culture, (28) Ibanpop is about entertainment, not social critique. Most songs in my sample(94%) deal with the vagaries of the human heart, as Table 2.7. demonstrates.

Irama, another Sibu company, often uses exactly the oppositeimagery, Irama produces both Iban pop songs (lagu Iban) and folk music (mainasal), including taboh (gong and drum ritual music) and ramban (love songs).The performers are clad in traditional Iban costume and surrounded by Ibanmotifs. Modernity is nowhere to be seen. These tapes appear, however, to beless popular than TBC's. (34) In this connection, some Iban leaders andcultural organizations have decried the loss of the vast Iban musicalheritage. (35) Suggestions have been made to introduce Bornean folk music inthe Malaysian school curriculum (36) and the Dayak Cultural Foundation hasannounced the creation of a Dayak classical music orchestra. (37) At the sametime, some leaders have called for tighter regulations in the pop musicindustry in order to protect the Iban singers from exploitation by (ethnicChinese) middlemen, as well as official support to market their own tapes.(38) The Housing Minister, Datuk Celestine Ujang, believes some Iban artistswould be millionaires if they were given a fair share of the industry'sprofits.
