From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Đờn ca tài tử (Chữ Hán: 彈歌樂才子) or nhạc tài tử (樂才子) is a genre of chamber music in the traditional music of southern Vietnam. Its instrumentation resembles that of the ca Huế style; additionally, modified versions of the European instruments guitar, violin, and steel guitar are used. Vọng cổ ("Longing for the Past") is one of the more popular tài tử melodies, and was composed in 1919 by songwriter ông Sáu Lầu, of Bạc Liêu Province in southern Vietnam.[1]
The term comes from the Sino-Vietnamese terms nhạc (樂, literally "music") and tài tử (才子, literally "virtuoso"; the original Chinese meaning was "gifted scholar").
