Recently, my class has been studying and familiarizing with the Montagnard Culture and learning to prepare for a documentary project. I have chosen to focus around the cultural music of the Dega people. I have always been interested and find myself listening to foreign music, not all of the time, but for serious part of my life. Since hearing about the Dega people, I would like to
understand and get exposed to their music.
Many of the Montagnard instruments include basic ones that we know of today such as gongs, bamboo flutes, and stringed instruments. They are most always accompanied by traditional dances that tell tales of their survival.. Their popular songs are not only for entertainment but to preserve their custom traditions.
