Cowboys Dangdut, When Terajana Conquer United States ! 
I’d like to appreciate this posting : Dangdut ala USA. (Don’t forget to visit her blog and leave a comment.)
Amazing, dangdut has crossed beyond the sea, and sang by cowboys on United States !
I like how he sang "Teraja-naaa…." with fluent "cengkok" !
The man behind these things was Andrew Weintraub.
Andrew Weintraub is an ethnomusicologist specializing in the music of Indonesia, particularly Sundanese music, dance, and theater of West Java. His articles have appeared in edited books and journals including Ethnomusicology, Asian Music, Asian Theatre Journal, Perfect Beat, and Balungan.
He also had visited Indonesia, met with Rhoma Irama. Now he perform a local band named "Dangdut Cowboys".
This is fun ! Thank’s Arnita, for publishing such interesting material.
