We take a two hour taxi ride from South Jakarta to the Tugu area of North Jakarta - an area home to a small enclave of Portuguese descendent Christian Betawi folk - to visit with the band Keroncong Tugu. The group plays a traditional style of the genre, not giving in to popular themes of musical evolution (adding electric instruments, drum machines, etc.) to increase their marketable value.
