Vietnamese Traditional Dan Bau Music
by Pham Duc Thanh
Vietnamese traditional Music is extremely rich and diverse ranging from ceremonial
and theatre music to popular folk songs. Due to geography and history, the
technically complex music of Vietnam reveals Chinese and Indian influences.
The former is reflected in the stringed instruments and musical theory, while the
latter is expressed in the drums and rhythms. Adding to this complexity are
Vietnam's distinct regional (northern, central and southern) and ethnic minority
traditions.

"What is perhaps amazing about this music
is the precise control of the tone and sheer
effectiveness Thanh achieves on an instrument
that seems on the surface to be so simple."
