#801 On The White Gaze

Have you heard of dangdut?
Oh, what’s that? 
It is the number one music genre in Indonesia. 
Oh, oh, interesting! What is it like? It must be melodic, no?
Hmph, not really melodic. More like janky. 
Janky?
Yes, very much proletarian. Probably with Indian antecedents. Drums and flutes and all that. Lots of dancing and gyrating. 
Ah, interesting. So so very interesting.
