"Unggan" refers to the place, the nagari Unggan. It's a song inspired by the talempong practice there. Composer: Syamsimar told me that she created this song after visiting Unggan for a performance in the 1980s. She heard an Unggan tune and was inspired to turn it into a dendang, calling it "Talempong Unggan" in honor of its inspiration (interview with Syamsimar, Pariangan, 9/24/2004). Type of song:Satangah Tiang. Genre of origin: Inspired by talempong. Place affiliations:
