Pop Minang is popular music in the Minangkabau language, a term that is a catch all for a variety of styles. It is the main genre of songs performed in the style of orgen, along with dangdut Minang. There is a very active Minang recording industry and a large number of songs affiliated with this genre. Some dendang become pop songs.

1media/Image_Saluang dangdut.JPGmedia/Image_Saluang dangdut.JPG2020-12-31T02:59:17+00:00Style: Saluang Dangdut9Saluang dangdut involves a combination of repertoire and instrumentation from saluang and dangdutimage_header2021-06-29T18:45:36+00:00Definition: "Saluang dangdut" means saluang with dangdut. Some people suggest it has been around since the 1970s. I witnessed a couple of performances in 2004, but have not seen any with this combination since.
Performer line up: The most conventional line-up involves:
multiple padendang
tukang saluang
gendang dangdut
rabano, or drum known as gendang oyak
giriang, or tambourine
a janang depending on context.
Economics: These groups are contracted.
Context: Saluang dangdut was mostly found at life cycle celebrations, including weddings, circumcisions, and the such.
Performance Space:
Outside the house at family events
In the street, indoor halls, or other communal spaces for community events
Amplification: Typically amplified through massive speaker systems.
Repertoire: The songs covered are
metered songs from saluang repertoire, including singgalang, gembira, and some satangah tiang. The ratok are not appropriate for saluang dangdut treatment
songs from dangdut Minang, dangdut Indonesia, pop Minang and other genres that can be adapted to the saluang
Time frame: I've heard that people have been experimenting with this style from the 1970s. My sense is that this style has morphed into saluang orgen.
Region: The style originates in the darek, though I did witness one performance in Padang. It's unclear how frequently it was performed in the rantau.
