He said that, so far the government has never done data on the existence of Indonesian culture that currently exist, which arise from the diversity of tribes and customs.

Due to the lack of data caused our legal powers on the existing culture is not strong enough so that when other states recognize that one of the existing culture in Indonesia, his government would not be able to do much.

Lecturer Ethnomusicology USU courses were added, many are the result of Indonesian culture that has been recognized as the culture of other countries, such as a song from Maluku Sayange Pain, Batik, Reog Ponorogo, Kuda Lumping and Angklung.

Even recent Pendet derived from the Balinese also has recognized other countries as their own. Unfortunately our new sense of concern arise when we recognized As with property owned by others, whereas before we were never given much attention to it.

Pendet worship dance that is usually displayed in the temple lot which symbolizes a welcoming of the gods fall to earth.

Gradually, as the times, the Balinese artists turn into dance Pendet welcome to the guests.
