What kind of music is it ?
-> It is Quan ho singing, a Vietnamese style of folk music
Viet Nam
Quan Ho singing is a Vietnamese style of folk music that was recognised by UNESCO in 2009. It originated (bắt nguồn) in Bac Ninh Province in the 13th century, and is sung at spring festivals. There are a large number of Quan Ho melodies (làn điệu, giai điệu). A pair of female singers sing a `challenge phrase` (câu ra) and a pair of male singers sing a `matching phrase` (câu đối), which repeats the melody phrase. Once they are finished, the order is reversed (đổi lại). The male singers will sing their challenge phrase with a different melody, like musical ping pong. The singers are backed with the mono chord (đàn bầu), followed by the bamboo flute (sáo tre) and a 36-stringed musical instrument.
Indonesia
Dangdut is a kind of Indonesian popular music.
Indonesians really enjoy this music because the powerful beat compels (thúc dục) listeners to dance together in the Ghoomar style. Dangbut has a similar melody, vocals (âm thanh), and instruments as Indian music. A dangdut band typically consists of a male or female lead singer, who is backed by an unusual mix of musical instruments. They can include drums of flutes from a variety of Asian or Middle East countries and modern instruments like electric guitars or organs.
