Key Findings/Conclusion:
Based on the results of research and discussion it can be concluded that, first of all, traditional Javanese gamelan music still has its own place in the heart of its community members. The aesthetic taste for ethnic music often derives from the childhood memories of its members or supporters. Furthermore, ethnic music is a memory that is inherent or pervades their souls into adulthood. Based on this phenomenon, ethnic music is maintained in the life of the community and is used as a means of channeling aesthetic flavors for the supporting community. Second of all, the existence of different art styles in each subculture is always an expression that appears as a result of socio-cultural phenomena and the physical environment that always surrounds the living conditions of the people. The changing socio-cultural life of the community has made that people’s tastes towards their ethnic music also changes. This resulted in the emergence of new ethnic music styles in each subculture, which are adaptive to their respective environments.
