There is a style of music that sometimes utilizes the sitar in Indonesia. It's called Kroncong or Keroncong. It originally consisted of a bowed rebab fiddle, bamboo Suling flute and Sitar as well as the usual gongs and hand drums.
It comes from the 16th century. Sailors had Portuguese instruments and music which they brought with them on their travels. When the Portuguese music was combined with local elements it created Keroncong.
It was originally associated with the lower class. Recently it has evolved into a style that uses electric bass for the gong, electric guitar to replace the sitar, violin to replace the rebab, drum kit to replace the kendang drum, etc…
