Don ca tai tu or Southern amateur music has long been considered as a very typical chamber music of southern Vietnam since the early 19th century which belongs to a genre of chamber music in the Vietnamese traditional music. Don ca tai tu is a perfect combination between instruments and singers who are not professional vocalists but mostly are farmers, countryside boys and girls in the south sing after hard working hours.
