Main Article Content

Abstract

The existence of Gamad music serves as evidence that the Portuguese were once present in Indonesia. This music proves that the Indonesian community has embraced the musical sensibilities of the Portuguese. This study aims to identify and understand the hybridization process that occurs in Gamad music. It employs a qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document reviews. Observation were made of Gamad performances in live shows and recorded were uploaded to YouTube. In-depth interviws were conducted with selected informants, including Gamad musiciants and group owners. Document reviews were carried out on online media discussing Gamad music performances. The study found evidence of Portuguese influnce in this music, namely (1) the use of displayed musical instruments, (2) the use of diatonic scales, and (3) the performance of the song "Kaparinyo"in every show. The number of songs observed limits this study. It recomends that music or art history researchers conduct more comprehensive research on this music.
