NDONESIA: Jaipong artists slammed president of the Islamic-based Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Tifatul Sembiring for his statement, which they said discredited the traditional West Java dance.

"We are not a generation who develops seni yang miring (degenerate arts) as stated by Sembiring," Mas Nanu Muda, coordinator of Jaipong Care Community, said in Bandung on Saturday, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Nanu read the statement from the Jaipong artists, in which they demanded an apology from Tifatul Sembiring.
