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. You might be surprised to realize that almost every local people you meet in your Mekong cruise can be a Don ca tai tu’s singer.
