Tarling
Tarling is a unique art of the northeast coastal region of West Java (Cirebon and Indramayu-around). This art form is essentially a musical performance, but accompanied by a short play. The name "tarling" taken from the abbreviation of two dominant musical instruments: electric guitar and flute. Besides these two instruments, there are also a number of percussion, saron, kempul, and gongs.
Tarling early development is unclear. However, in the 1950s similar music has been broadcast by tarling RRI Cirebon in the show "Rhythm City Shrimp", and made it popular. In the 1960s, this show was called "tarling" and began to enter the elements of drama.
Since the widespread popularity of dangdut in the 1980s, art tarling pressed. This forced the artists included tarling dangdut elements in their performance, and this mixing results tarling-called dangdut (or tarlingdut). Furthermore, due to the demands of consumers themselves, tarling songs mixed with electronic music devices so that the groups formed a single organ tarling organs. At this time, classical tarling is rarely performed and is no longer popular.
