Wajang Foxtrot
This early 20th-century sheet music piece, Wajang Foxtrot, blends Western musical styles with Indonesian cultural elements. Inspired by traditional wayang (shadow puppetry), the composition reflects a fascination with Javanese performing arts during the colonial period. With lyrics and music by David Monnickendam, this foxtrot exemplifies how Indonesian themes were appropriated into popular European music of the time.
