Keroncong is a traditional Indonesian music genre characterized by its mellifluous melodies and a distinct blend of native and Western influences, particularly evident through its use of the ukulele, cello, and flute. Originating in the 16th century, keroncong has evolved from Portuguese influences into a uniquely Indonesian sound, often evoking a sense of nostalgia and romanticism. The genre typically features lilting rhythms and soft, intricate harmonies that create an intimate atmosphere. Artists like O.K Gema Nada Pertiwi and Wiwiek Sumbogo have helped to preserve and popularize keroncong, infusing it with personal and regional nuances while maintaining its core sentimental essence.
