Nhạc tài tử

Nhạc tài tử (Vietnamese: [ɲàːk tâːj tɨ᷉], Chữ Nôm: , "music of amateurs") 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 drum beat") 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.

The term comes from the Sino-Vietnamese terms nhạc (, literally "music") and tài tử (, literally "amateur"; the original Chinese meaning was "gifted scholar").
