The origins of Malay popular music

Title: The origins of Malay popular music
Description: " The story of Malay popular music begins in the early twentieth century with the emergence of bangsawan, the first indigenous urban commercial thetre in Malaya. Bangsawan originated as an adaptation of the Parsi theatre of India which toured Malaya (Edrus 1960, Camoens 1982). Its development corresponded with rapid changes which occured as a consequence of British intervention."
