Quan Ho singing is a Vietnamese style of
folk music that was recognised by
UNESCO in 2009. It originated (bắt
nguồn) in Bac Ninh Province in the 13th
century, and is sung at spring festivals.
There are a large number of Quan Ho
melodies (làn điệu, giai điệu). A pair of
female singers sing a 'challenge phrase'
(câu ra) and a pair of male singers sing a
'matching phrase' (câu đối), which
repeats the melody phrase. Once they
are finished, the order is reversed (đổi

lại). The male singers will sing their
challenge phrase with a different melody,
like musical ping pong. The singers are
backed with the mono chord (đàn bầu),
followed by the bamboo flute (sáo tre)
and a 36-stringed musical instrument.

Dangdut is a kind of Indonesian
popular music.
Indonesians really enjoy this music
because the powerful beat compels
(thúc dục) listeners to dance
together in the Ghoomar style.
Dangbut has a similar melody,
vocals (âm thanh), and instruments
as Indian music. A dangdut band
typically consists of a male or
female lead singer, who is backed
by an unusual mix of musical
instruments. They can include
drums of flutes from a variety of
Asian or Middle East countries and
modern instruments like electric
guitars or organs.
