Viet Nam
Quan Ho singing is a Vietnamese style of folk music that was recognised by UNESCO in 2009. It originated in Bac Ninh Province in the 13th century, and is sung at spring festivals. There are a large number of Quan Ho melodies. A pair of female singers sing a ‘challenge phrase' (cau ra) and a pair of male singers sing a ‘matching phrase' (cau doi), which repeats the melody phrase. Once they are finished, the order is reversed. The male singers will sing their challenge phrase with a different melody, like musical ping pong. The singers are backed with the mono chord, followed by the bamboo flute and a 36-stringed musical instrument.
Indonesia
Dangdut is a kind of Indonesian popular music. Indonesians really enjoy this music because the powerful beat compels listeners to dance together in the Ghoomar style. Dangdut has a similar melody, vocals, 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 or flutes from a variety of Asian or Middle East countries and modern instruments like electric guitars or organs.
