About Pop Indonesia
The mainstream pop tradition that emerged in the late 1960s as a deliberate Indonesian answer to The Beatles, then matured through the 1970s and 1980s into the dominant national sound. Koes Plus opened the era, Chrisye carried it through three decades of crooning sophistication, and Iwan Fals turned its acoustic guitar template into protest song.
