The culture of Indonesia

The culture of Indonesia has been shaped by long interaction between original indigenous
customs and multiple foreign influences. Indonesia is centrally-located along ancient trading
routes between the Far East, South Asia, and the Middle East, resulting in many cultural
practices being strongly influenced by a multitude of religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity, all strong in the major trading cities. The result is a
complex cultural mixture very different from the original indigenous cultures.

Examples of the fusion of Islam with Hindu Javanese Abangan belief, the fusion of Hinduism,
Buddhism and animism in Bodha, and the fusion of Hinduism and animism in Kaharingan.
Balinese dances have stories about ancient Buddhist, and Hindu kingdoms, while Islamic art
forms and architecture are present in Sumatra, especially in the Minangkabau and Aceh regions.
Traditional art, music, and sport are combined in a martial art form called Pencak Silat.

The Western world has influenced Indonesia in science, technology and modern entertainment
such as television shows, film, and music, as well as political system and issues. India has
notably influenced Indonesian songs and movies. A popular type of song is the Indian-
rhythmical dangdut, which is often mixed with Arab and Malay folk music.
Despite the influences of foreign culture, some remote Indonesian regions still preserve
uniquely indigenous culture. Indigenous ethnic groups Mentawai, Asmat, Dani, Dayak, Toraja,
and many others are still practicing their ethnic rituals, customs and wearing traditional clothes.
