The Betawi ethnic group emerged from Indonesia’s melting pot of races, ethnic groups and cultures in the 19th century. Islam has a strong influence in Betawi culture, which is displayed by art forms, such as the Rebana and Gambus Orchestras and by the Zapin or Japin Dance.

Movements of Betawi Tari Topeng (mask dance) and the style in which they play the gamelan orchestra points to a Balinese influence. This influence is also noticeable in the gamelan performances at Wayang Kulit Betawi shows.

Keroncong Tugu, with popular songs like Nina Bobo, Kaparinyo and Keroncong Moritsko, is part of the cultural heritage left behind by the Portuguese and is said to be the origin of present-day Keroncong music.
