“…The Global North nations, for centuries in some cases, have promoted positive and idealistic images of themselves overseas, in the colonies, and people have bought into these images and continue to do so. [32] Meanwhile, professors in and from the Global North expect salaries at the same level if they are to work in a Global South nation, and it is usually either unaffordable or affordable only by cutting down expenditures in other important areas. Again, local students, present and future; local lecturers who don't emigrate (or leave the sector as the case may be); and local institutions are the losers.…”

This article exists as a call for decolonizing methodologies and the reversal of colonial logic. Drawing in part on my own ethnographic research on soccer in the Fiji Islands and popular music and society in Indonesia, I explain how local study participants can and should be encouraged to operate as co-interviewers and co-researchers so that the project has an Indigenous flavour and orientation and functions in terms of Indigenous understandings of relationships, practices, and values. The last section of the article draws out the implications of decolonizing methodologies for nursing lecturers and nursing researchers in the Global South. Based on three short cases, I conclude that decolonizing logic means that, first and foremost, we learn to choose and want to choose the Fiji logic while not necessarily despising the Western logic but putting it below or in parenthesis. We might need to remember it if and when we go home!

“…These popular music groups have successfully introduced traditional Indonesian music to a broad audience, illustrating that the marriage of traditional and popular music can create a harmonious and engaging musical experience. Beyond these highlighted groups, numerous other Indonesian popular music ensembles have embraced the transmission of traditional music into their compositions (James & Walsh, 2022b;Scott-Maxwell, 2020). This widespread trend emphasizes the enduring appeal and resonance that traditional music holds for the Indonesian people, showcasing the cultural richness and adaptability of traditional elements within the dynamic landscape of popular music in Indonesia.…”

This article explores the dynamic process of transmitting local and traditional music within the context of Indonesian popular music. As Indonesia boasts a rich cultural heritage, the study delves into how traditional musical elements are incorporated and transformed within the works of contemporary Indonesian music groups. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing case studies of prominent Indonesian music groups. Through an in-depth analysis of their compositions, arrangements, and performances, the study aims to unravel how traditional musical influences are transmitted and integrated into the fabric of popular music. The findings reveal diverse strategies Indonesian music groups employ in incorporating local and traditional elements. Case studies showcase the adaptation of traditional instruments, melodic patterns, and rhythmic structures, providing insight into how cultural heritage is woven into the contemporary musical landscape. The discussion section engages with the implications of this transmission process, addressing questions of cultural identity, artistic innovation, and audience reception. It explores how the synthesis of traditional and popular music contributes to the evolution of Indonesia's musical identity and its resonance within a global context. In conclusion, this article illuminates the multifaceted nature of the transmission of local and traditional music in Indonesian popular music. The case studies provide a lens to understand the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation, shedding light on the creative processes that shape the country's musical tapestry. This study contributes to the broader discourse on the global dynamics of music transmission and the significance of cultural heritage in contemporary musical expressions.

The Ujung Berung (Bandung, Indonesia) death metal scene arguably peaked in the years 2009–13. Based on personal interviews and conversations with musicians, we identify four factors adversely affecting the scene at present: (1) decline in community nongkrong/relocation of Serak store at Jalan Cihampelas; (2) those left behind – the disillusionment of the older second-division bands; (3) the new generation’s attitude and perspective and (4) the turn towards religion. We also explore whether Indonesian masculinity is in crisis, because of young Indonesian men’s subordinated place within global capitalism and the threat that capitalism poses to traditional hierarchies. Hypermasculine death metal culture inspires because it is western in origin but not bourgeois – it is a mysterious mix of signs, symbols, sounds and mythologies, which attracts by its very obscurity; it quietly challenges, in its indirect way, the power of Indonesian hegemonic identities such as ‘pious Islamic family-man’ and ‘businessman’.
