What does the title mean?
What will be an ideal response?
• "The title mixes the English word shuffle (a type of African American ecstatic song/dance combination performed in worship, also known as ‘ring-shout') and the Sundanese words for drum (kendhang) and gamelan musical piece (gendhing)."
• It incorporates Sundanese musical elements into its ethno-fusion jazz, including the indigenous sléndro and pélog scale system and traditional instruments used in Javanese gamelan music.
• "Sundanizes" jazz/pop music and "jazzes" or "modernizes" Sundanese music
• Secular (nonreligious), regional (Sundanese), and international (jazz fusion). The group's ambiguous musical style bridges local Indonesian/traditional culture and Western/modern culture. Krakatau appeals to a narrower market: sophisticated urbanites.
