Javanese culture is very diverse, one of whom is a musical art. This musical art is one example of traditional art which is a tourism asset so valuable that we need to maintain and preserve. In the musical art is the element of patience, simplicity, familiarity, but also dynamic. This is a mirror of the personality of our community and provide a sense of good for society, and therein is contained a philosophy that gives meaning to our lives everyday.
Globalization and technological progress is very rapid communication significantly affect the less interested in the art of Javanese culture, including musical art. Current musical art as less demand, especially the younger generation. If this condition is left, then worry about getting old musical art will increasingly eroded and marginalized by the modern cultures and even foreign culture.
We as a nation next generation should be able to care for and preserve traditional arts and cultural heritage so as not to become extinct, disappear swallowed by the development of this modern era by way of knowing, experiencing, feeling and ultimately could love Javanese culture, particularly the musical arts. This effort is one way to keep the musical arts that still exist as part of the Javanese cultural treasures
