Language is the language of Banyuwangi stir once known as the kingdom Blambangan. Language is a bit similar to the Java language is the language that is used daily by people Osing Banyuwangi until today, which is why the songs drums kempul still use this language. Similarly Banyuwangi community has a great cultural tradition they inherited from their predecessors.

Because some of them are famous dangdut song Banyuwangi, like a song sung by Alit dangdut singer Ike Nurjanah Bracelet. Especially after the advent of the new songs from the advent of the drum kempul singer last appeared.

Banyuwangi art that one is growing and becoming craze many people groups in East Java. It was also because many kempul drum song that became a song campursari which is the favorite song of eastern Java. Many songs are sung kempul drums by artists Feat Feat eastern Java. The more moncer just drums kempul of Banyuwangi in East Java music entertainment scene, and it also makes the eastern Javanese arts growing region.

Even with the addition of modern musical instruments, drums kempul remains a drum kempul who has not lost his trademark.

Society devotees can still enjoy drum kempul modern version without losing something unique and typical of his favorite kempul drums. Likewise, the emergence of the singer and songwriter who much later, drum songs campursari kempul more with a more poppy song. Just a little unfortunate existence vulgar languages ​​and were not right for a traditional art. For example, the song "Rump semok", "Naughty Bojoku", "Dicokot Nyokot" and the like.

Similarly, on typical about the music coming from the town of Banyuwangi. Nasioanal artist names that we know come from the presence of drums kempul Banyuwangi is Cahyono and Nini Karlina.

Musical siter Central Java.

His voice was soft and clear as other stringed instruments. The melody is played by the sitar can vary widely. Central Java musical instrument is rarely played. Even today threatened with extinction. Although Java sitar guitar sound is no less attractive when compared with Guzheng (Chinese) or sitar (India).

This instrument measuring 20x50 cm. Material from teak wood and has 13-24 strings. Siter has two sides. The first is called pelog side and the other side is called slendro. Siter is a pair of Javanese gamelan. Exotic traditional Javanese gamelan music, has the obligation to the accompaniment of a zither.

Java guitar has a beautiful voice. It is said that at the time of manufacture, not just anyone can be tuned. This is why people who can tune in to music maestro siter considered Javanese.

There are some who say that the siter adopt many styles of India. This is because his name is similar to the string instrument of the South Asian country. In this Java plays guitar, usually musicians tend to fast tempo. This is because this instrument is a kind of musical accompaniment. How to play it is almost the same as the harp, using two hands and thumbs as a barrier vibrations of the strings.

Slendro and Pelog, Tone Typical Siter. 

Slendro and pelog interconnected. This is the name that is in the zither tones. Traditional Javanese guitar is divided into a two tone this part. Of the 24 existing strings, usually tuned tone slendo 11 and 13 again set the tone pelog.

The difference in the tone of the slendro pelog and it will sound very clear when played. Pelog tone issued by the two scales are more than the original Balinese and Javanese gamelan.

In pelog, the tone is made by stringing some wide intervals. Tone interval of pelog tend extreme. Pelog has 7 tones. The seventh tone was called "chest", "nem", "gulu", "five", "bem", and "pelog".

Tone that was issued by the slendro is more easily digested than pelog. Slendro is more flexible and is almost the same in one octave. Slendro has 5 basic tones. Tone intervals were narrower with pelog. Slendro scales have the designation "siji", "loro", "telu", five "," enem ".

In addition to zither, there are some traditional musical instruments in Central Java that is no less interesting called zither. Siter and zither are two different musical instruments. Because both are almost always played simultaneously, so many people consider a zither zither and the same instrument.

Indonesian Arts Preservation. 

History of art did not escape from the reasoning of experts who define the word art itself. Dick Hartoko states that art is complicated. Dick Hartoko say complicated because history always smelling abstract art. Not so easy to do strictly compartmentalization.

Art has a religious purpose, magical, symbolic, aesthetic, and even commercial. The history of art is originated from religion or religious rituals.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the present art forms through the forms of religion in the Greek form of an offering to the god Dyonisius, the fertility god who gives life to the outcome favors the universe to man. In these rituals, art forms have been present in the form of offerings to the gods in the form of performances and events follow a series of grooves.

The things that smelled of ritual, usually also synonymous with something that is magical. Certain ritual occasions is often very thick with magical elements, especially with Indonesian culture which was originally a follower community dynamism. Art does have a purpose for magical things or giving the impression of magical. Some art forms are very closely related to the things that are invisible.

Art, means also art, have a clear purpose for beauty. Aesthetic value of art is realized in the form. Whether it be art, dance, music, or performances, it must forward the aesthetic impression. Art is the work that raises the beauty. The form of his work can be seen by the naked eye it can be enjoyed and felt really unique sides, beautiful, and valuable.

As a work, which is also seen by many people, which is an element of beauty to be appreciated, respected, and enjoyed, art commercial aims as well. Art forms can be presented in a deliberate plan with the intent to benefit financially.

Material benefits we can get by showing these art forms. Through this way that art fulfills its purpose as something that could also be commercial.

Awards to artists on art forms and anything they have done to be appreciated in the form of other awards, namely the material. Not pricing in the arts with a few dollars, but the form of an award of this material can be a source of day-to-day income workers presenting art works of arts.

The history of art is so long. Art history will never run out and fairly. As long as humans are still there, the arts will continue to run.

art and culture is the beauty of the fruit of the work of art created by human ancestors, then lowered for generations, whether it be belief, art, or customs. No wonder if we discover the art of our culture full of moral and social values​​.

Culture and arts in Indonesia is increasingly eroded. Indonesian society increasingly influenced by outside cultures through the development of increasingly sophisticated technology, thus forgetting their own culture.

Lessons on art is only obtained at school. It was only in theory accepted by the students, rarely practice. So, which is received by the students about the culture and arts of Indonesia still lacking.

Lessons from outside the school is more influential on one of the lessons he received in school. Therefore, the need for support from outside the school to help one learn the Indonesian culture.

For example, the education learned the language in school can not be practiced by a student outside of school if he does not use the language of the area.

So also about culture and art in Indonesia. Indonesian culture is getting lost in time swallow. The reason is because the times that influenced Indonesian society from the outside culture that many go to Indonesia.

This makes Indonesian people forget the art and culture of its own. Influence from the outside is very strong to influence the culture in Indonesia.

Indeed, the times it can change a state and society itself. However, these changes must be accompanied by cultural norms and prevailing in this country.

Cultural influences from outside entering Indonesia must be filtered first. There should be a selection, which is good and which is bad for the country's progress. Do not just take it for granted or cultural influences from outside.

The development of increasingly sophisticated technology, to make Indonesian culture from the outside entering and growing. In many areas, there are outside influences, even to change the system that has prevailed in this country.

In the field of culture, many things were changed because of the development of the era. Traditional culture, ranging from language, ethnicity, customs, dances, clothing, custom homes, and so on, began rarely studied and memorized by the people, especially the younger generation.

Lessons learned in the world of education is not enough to make the young generation to love and to memorize their own culture and the arts. This is due to the influence of outside culture was coming into this country.

Traditional art, traditional clothing and dance, is rarely used and performed in public. Now people are more interested in wearing clothes more modern model and danced modern dances from the display clothing and traditional dances.

People are more interested to learn the culture of the outside of the arts and culture of the country itself. The reason is, that is not obsolete and more slang, according to today's children.

Know and practice of art and culture in the performing arts, should a pride for the community itself. In fact, developed countries are countries who love and appreciate their own culture and the arts.

Currently, Central Java musical instrument, guitar Java, which has a unique sound is almost extinct. It helps us to know him and even better if we try to play it. Siter is the door of history. The music he created could be an opening for another history.
