Style: Saluang Lamak
- It it performed inside houses.
- No amplification is used.
- a tukang saluang
- 2-3 padendang
- No janang would be involved.
Context: The primary context is for enjoyment, deep appreciation by a limited audience. I expect it is very limited invitation basis.
Performance Space: Inside a house, limiting the size of the audience.
Amplification: None. This is a distinguishing feature of the style, a way of harkening back to the old days.
Repertoire: My guess would be that the repertoire focuses almost exclusively on the classics, none of the pop imports and none of the porno lyrics.
Time frame: I suspect these kinds of performances have always happened, but I expect the "revival" of the original performance style has been an objection to the many changes saluang performances experienced in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Region: Probably focused on the darek, because performances further afar you would want to entertain a larger crowd.
Note: I have never personally witnessed one of these performances, but I was invited to one in 2015 where Te E was singing. Unfortunately, I had no way of getting there and home again.
