@zexsypmp23 lol, that’s because it’s favored by new age type activity, meditation relaxation vibes.
This is hard cord Nguyen dynasty Court music. It’s an acquired taste, lol. You see lots of old colonial pictures from the last Nguyen dynasty
Indian music
what is the difference with Vietnamese & Chinese traditional music?
@zexsypmp23 the first one you can’t tell. The second one, court music, sounds like Vietnamese. I’m not a musician so I can’t really describe it. This is quintessentially Vietnamese (except for the violin). As a foreigner, can you tell the difference between the first one and the following?
@athena this one sounds more like Thai-Japanese mixed to me. This one sounds like a cruise music to people travelling in boats
@zexsypmp23 yes, that’s because Japanese and vnmese music took inspiration from early Chinese Music. I’m not very well versed in this area so I can’t say from when. Most of the traditional Chinese music we hear now, sounds like the first piece I posted that came later during Ming dynasty and later, I believe.
then over time vnmese music blended in with natural elements from local indigenous culture. That’s why to you it sounded like a mix between Jpnese and Thai music.
@zexsypmp23 here one traditional Thai piece, you can hear similarity to the Vietnamese court music, right?
