Sejarah
The term Joget is Old Javanese in origin which literally means "dance" generally,[5][6] and was likely developed in the era of Majapahit empire based in eastern Java dates back to 12th century era. Due to its influence, nowadays the Joget tradition can be found all across Nusantara (the conquered territory of Majapahit). One of the earliest mentions can be traced in the early 14th century manuscript of Hikayat Raja-raja Pasai (terj. har. 'History of Pasai kings'):[7]
‟... Maka terlalu ramainya negeri Majapahit itu, sentiasa dengan gong, gendang dan joget, dan pelbagai jenis segala bunyi-bunyian, ingar-ingaran bunyinya dengan pelbagai warna permainan ...”
Translation:
‟... And the country of Majapahit was so vociferous, always [serenaded] with gongs, gendangs, and joget, and all kinds of sounds, loud noises with various types of games ...”
― Hikayat Raja-raja Pasai: 102[7]
Introduced to another islands
Originated from eastern region of the Indonesian island of Java, the Joget has become part of Javanese cultural elements that play significant role in forming several folk dances across regions, and its distribution attributed to the Majapahit, a Javanese empire. In the island of Sumatra for instance, these type of dance colloquially known as '[the] dance of Javanese', and in the Sulawesi island (especially in southern Sulawesi) it is colloquaially known as '[the] Javanese beat dance'; all those terms used interchangeably with Joget.
To Lampung
As the southernmost region of the Sumatra island close to Java, the Joget has reached Lampung as early as late 13th century brought by the Javanese traders. Until present-day, the capital and its adjacent areas of Lampung (such as Metro, Bandar Lampung, etc.) still predominantly inhabited by the Javanese immigrants and Joget is occassionally performed during the Javanese cultural ceremonies.
To Palembang
Joget was introduced to the Palembang region in early 15th century during the era of Palembang Kingdom, which is a kingdom built by the Majapahit prince named Arya Damar. As the vasal state of Majapahit, the performance of Joget in the palace of Palembang Kingdom mainly served as the court performance and commonly performed by the female dancers.
Introduced to Southern America
To Suriname
The existence of Javanese immigrants in southern America can not be separated from the dark history of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia (specifically in Java island). The Javanese people were abducted from their origin home in Java, and forcefully enslaved to work in plantations (mainly). However, it does not extinguished their Javanese spirit to preserve their cultural tradition, and one of them is through the Joget performance. Similar to its original form in the Indonesian island of Java, the Joget performance in Suriname usually also accompanied by the Gamelan (Javanese musical instrument).
Introduced to Mainland Southeast Asia
To Malaysia
Commonly dubbed as the Joget Gamelan due to its prominent usage of the Gamelan (Javanese musical instrument), these performance reached the Kra Peninsula by the early 19th century era (specifically in 1811), and was performed for the first time at a royal wedding in Pekan (the capital of Pahang).[8] In modern days, it has spread to the state of Malacca as well, where the Joget style has incorporated into the Portuguese dance of Branyo.
