Song in the Sumatran Highlands

Introductory Material: Imbauan Saluang

Imbauan Saluang, which translates as "saluang introduction," is the standard musical item that is used to open all performances in the saluang klasik style. The musical content of this item is somewhat variable, from tukang saluang to tukang saluang, and adapted to the specific performance context. I have included examples here that range from 0.34 seconds to 1.54 seconds. [FINALIZE] You also hear this item on commercial recordings. The tukang saluang transitions from the generic introductory material to the introductory material specific to the following song, transitioning seamlessly from one to the next.
