For the modern West, Bali has long served as an icon of exotic
pre-modern innocence. Yet the reality of modern Bali stands in
stark contrast to this prevailing and enduring image, a contrast
embodied by a movement of local musical experimentation, musik
kontemporer, which emerged in the 1970s and which still thrives
today. In Radical Traditions, author Andrew Clay McGraw shows how
music kontemporer embodies the tensions between culture as
represented and lived, between the idea of Balinese culture and the
experience of living it. Through a highly interdisciplinary
approach informed by ethnomusicology, cultural studies,
postcolonial studies, anthropology, and theater studies, McGraw
presents an all-encompassing social and musical history of musik
kontemporer, and its intersections with class, ethnicity, and
globalization. As the first English language monograph on this
important Indonesian musical genre, Radical Traditions is an
essential resource for anyone fascinated by modern Indonesian and
Balinese music and culture.
