Banyuwangi, for instance, has various performing arts and oral tradition, such as gandrung poems, songs in angklung performance, jinggoan folklores, and traditions of wangsalan and basanan. To date, the relevant services of Banyuwangi government have not been able to make policies able to support the creation of creative industry pattern of thinking, system, and practice which are locally based and keep on proposing the characteristics of existing cultural values.
