Music from Vietnam 3

Ethnic Minorities

Vietnam’s long history at the point of intersection between different political and cultural spheres is reflected by the many minorities living in various parts of the country, especially in the north and west. These different ethnic groups all have their own languages, religions, customs – and music.

This CD includes several examples of the fantastic rhythmical music played on a tuned gong, but also of love songs, instrumental music and religious vocal music for invoking the various deities.

The Nùng people have an outstandingly strong poetic tradition, of which several examples are given here, and the unique hmông flute, highly appreciated for the beauty of its tone, is also represented.
