Music

Dabian is the most common traditional instrument played by the Nus. It looks like Pipa, a Chinese plucked string instrument, but can be elliptic or triangular in shape. It has four velvet strings, producing very clear charming sounds. All Nu youths can play this instrument to voice their aspirations. When it is played as a dance accompaniment, its distinct rhythm always breathes remarkable vibrancy into the atmosphere. Vigorous and straightforward, both music and dance are full of its national flavor.
