Gamelan rhythms combined with dynamic voice of the sinden (Javanese singers) will not let you fall in sleep. The story brought by the mastermind will bring you to come in late as one of the characters in the story. You will soon realize how great of Javanese culture in the past.
Wayang kulit is a performance art that has been more than half a millennium. The appearance of this art has its own story, related to the entry of Javanese Islam. One member of the Wali Songo created the form of wayang kulit by adopting Wayang Beber developed in the heyday of Hindu-Buddhist. The adoption was done because the puppet already attached to the heartstrings of Javanese to become the right medium for disseminating propaganda of Islam. Because Islam forbids visual art form, so that the puppet was created where people could only see the shadows.

Leather puppet is played by a man who would be called the greatest public entertainer in the world. It’s because during the whole night, the mastermind is behind the actors playing all character of wayang kulit puppets made from buffalo leather with the unique decoration motif. He had to change the character of the sound, changing intonation, out jokes and even singing. To liven the atmosphere, the mastermind assisted by musician who played the gamelan and sinden who sing Javanese songs.
There are hundreds of characters in the leather puppets. The puppets that are not played are placed in the banana trunks near the mastermind (dalang). When the puppets were played, they will appear as shadows on the white screen in front of the puppeteer. The image can be created by the shadows of the puppets being played with the help of lighting from oil lamps.

Each puppet show brings the different story or act. Story variation is divided into 4 categories, namely standard play (lakon pakem), carangan play, composition play (lakon gubahan) and essay play (lakon karangan). lakon pakem has a whole story based on the wayang library while the carangan story is only outline based on the library puppet. lakon gubahan is not based on wayang story but wearing the places according to the library puppet, while the lakon karangan was entirely written in freelance.
Wayang stories are based on some old books like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Pustaka Raja Purwa and Purwakanda. Today, there are also books containing lakon gubahan and lakon karangan during hundreds of years has been appreciated by the public; Abhimanyu Kerem, Doraweci, Suryatmaja Maling and so on. Among all the old books, Purwakanda is the most frequently used by puppeteers from the Sultan Palace. Leather puppet show begins when the puppeteer takes out the mountains-shape (gunungan). All-night wayang performance style in Yogyakarta divided into 3 scenes with 7 jejeran or acts and 7 war acts. The first scene, called pathet lasem, has 3 jejeran and 2 acts of war accompanied by pathet lasem Javanese musical composition. Pathet Sanga as the second scene has 2 jejeran and 2 war acts, while Pathet Manyura as the second scene has 2 jejeran and 3 war acts. One of the scenes that most spectators mostly wait is gara-gara that presents typical Javanese jokes.

In addition, Tionghoa cultures are also entered by many Tionghoa people coming from the southern regions of China which later settled in Nusantara. They settled and married local residents to produce a combination of local and Tionghoa culture. The culture like this is later became one of the roots local modern culture in Indonesia such as Java and the Betawi culture.

Arab culture commonly entered with the spreading of Islam by Arab traders who stopped at the archipelago on their way to China.

Indonesian archipelago became an important trade region at least since the 7th century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom made religious and trade relations with China and India. Kingdoms of Hinduism and Buddhism have developed in the early centuries, followed by the traders who brought Islam, and various European powers fought one another to monopolize the spice trade in Maluku during the era of ocean exploration. After about 350 years of Dutch rule, Indonesia declared its independence at the end of World War II.
