Passing on the Torch
In wa culture, traditional musical instruments occupy an important place. Wa people can sing and dance, and naturally they are indispensable to the accompaniment of musical instruments.
The wa traditional musical instruments are diverse and colorful. The most representative percussion instruments are the high-rhythmic and inspiring "wooden drum, beryllum gong, bamboo qin, bee barrel drum"; the wind instrument has the beauty of the mountains and the simple and thick "de, V, gourd flute"; the stringed instrument has a low tone, such as crying "monosoon"; plucked instruments have "small three strings" that pluck the heartstrings. These instruments have been combined into songs in the fields of Mount Awa, tunes by the fire pond, and melodies of the song field, which have been passed down to this day.
As the spool of inheritance, the wa girls and their mothers present the traditional musical instruments of the Wa people to the audience one by one, telling the context of the Wa mountain heritage and continuing the cry of Wa life. In the process of social history, Wa musical instruments have created a unique musical landscape of the Wa people in Cangyuan, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
