A reggae dangdut usually had a typical arrangement.
One need only typed keywords dangdut and reggae on channels such as YouTube to find heaps of reggae dangdut listing. It is relatively easy nowadays to discover this kind music – a blend of dangdut and reggae. But it wasn’t until recently reggae dangdut regained its prominance with the increasing number of dangdut groups that incorporate elements of reggae into their repertoire. At that time a group called Campur DKI released an album entitled Dangdut Reggae. This hybrid of reggae and dangdut actually had been in existence since the early ‘90s. Disco dangdut’s signature arrangement would then become the blueprint for other forms of dangdut that were full of electronic sounds like the performance of single organ dangdut. Disco dangdut dominated one-third of dangdut albums that were sold between 19. One of disco dangdut’s signature styles is the insertion of a sample recording of a man speaking a particular word, for example the voice of James Brown repeating the words “clap your hands” or “get funky”. This arrangement process would then alter the style and rhythm of the song, making the sound a combination of electronic disco and dangdut’s distinctive beats.
In disco dangdut arrangements the sound of electronic instruments were usually combined with recordings of conventional instruments such as bongo drums, tambourine and bass. Indonesian music writers and producers were also starting to use this technique. In the early ‘90s the use of sampling technique – with the help of electronic music instruments – in creating or arranging music was starting to be more common.
