Dangdut can be said has been very mature in a form that developed since the 1970s. As a well-known music, dangdut is also very open to the influences of other musical forms, ranging from the style, harp, kroncong, pop, rock, to house music.
The name "Dangdut" comes from the sound of tabla game (while in the world of dangdut called drum only) music india. Song of "Boneka Dari India" is a mix of the rhythm of the desert, the Malay song, and "dang - ding - dut" india, and then condensed into "Dangdut", Malay songs were influenced by Indian song. Next let us consider the history of dangdut music and its progress:
In 1870, dangdut music which still continue to be protected by the inclusion of a musical instrument called Gambus Arab origin who was famous at that time. Gambus have a shape like a guitar, but the low-pitched sound produced. The entry of gambus comes with the migration of Arabian with surname Hadramaut and also the Egyptians after the opening of the Suez Canal and the establishment of the port of Tanjung Priok in 1877, also at the time of Koninklijke Paketvaart Maatschappij is "Shipping Company of the Kingdom" (KPM) in 1888 . Since then, the musicians wear Arab stringed instrument, as an instrument of accompaniment when singing their music.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the song with the accompaniment of gambus instruments, has become popular among Arab and Indonesian communities. Seeing this gambus musical contemporary, Syech Albar is a father of a musician named Ahmad Albar decided to form an orchestra gambus instrument, based in Surabaya.

Contemporary is also so fast because it is dominated by anti-Western politics which is always mentioned by Sukarno.
In 1968, dangdut music began to surface. Rhoma Irama with Soneta Group leadership was a key figure in the emergence of this dangdut music. Two years later returned emerging new names that are still famous as A. Rafiq, Mansyur S, and Munchsin Alatas. The development of dangdut so much more modern in 1970 in Indonesia, because at that time dangdut music began welcoming other cultures brought from Western examples of percussion, saxophone, electric guitar and electric organ. Then the new instruments is increasingly opening gap variation for dangdut music.
Still in the 1970s, the beginning of the emergence of the influence of rock music in the style of playing guitar for dangdut, still in those days, which became a battleground between the rock and dangdut. Therefore, this war was the holding of a concert "duel" God Bless against Sonnet Group. These elements are making changes dangdut and into the separator with Malay music thoroughly. The emergence of a new variation of dangdut in the late 1970s, namely dangdut humor that was driven by Pancaran Sinar Petromaks (PSP) Malay name of an orchestra. Malay style Deli referenced PSP as a way to make the development of dangdut music that can be enjoyed by the students.
