Southeast Asia
The music in South East Asia is probably one of the most overlooked of the different music
styles in Asia. It is though, one of the most eclectic forms of Asian music. South East
Asian music is hard to decifer, and classify. The style is one that is a mix of all kinds of music,
the traditional forms are especially unique. For a breakdown of traditional S.E. Asian music

The best way to experience any kind of music, especially Vietnamese music, is to listen to it.

Pop music is very, very popular in South East Asia, especially in Vietnam and Thailand. The
pop stars there are superstars, and often times become television and movie stars as well.

South East Asia is still
feeling the effects of the Vietnam War, many, many families are poverty stricken, and do not
have much to celebrate or be happy about. Music though, is universal. Through research
I have seen that South East Asians value their music very, very much.
