Taiwan's Aboriginal Music: The Truku

[TheLEZBRO]

@adventurocity Are those traditionally taiwanese instruments or did they originate elswhere?

[huhujustforwatch]

I think they share the similarities with South East Asian tribes, Polynesian, and Ainu people of Japan

[TheLEZBRO]

@huhujustforwatch that's because the original people of taiwan travelled through south east asia (like the phillipines, indonesia etc.), micronesia (papua new guinea etc.), melanesia (fiji etc.) & last but not least polynesia (samoa, tonga, hawai'i, new zealand etc.) hence the cultural/physical similarities these ethnic groups have in common the main thing is that we all speak austronesian, austronesian speaking people started in taiwan n ended in polynesia =]

Hello adventurocity, what are the names of the instruments being played here please? And thanks for posting! Very good job they did.

@lovemybeau Thank you. I'm glad you liked the performance. I am afraid I do not know the Truku names for the instruments. In English, the first is a xylophone and the second is a mouth harp.

@adventurocity Thank you! It is nice they carry on culture.
