Base
on other local tribes of Taiwan, the Bunu have very little dance music. the
best-studied rudiment of folk Bunu music is improvised polyphonic chant. The
traditional instruments include the following such as pestles, five- corded
zither and the jaw harp.
In
the current period, David Darling, an American cellist, formed a project to
mixed cello and Bunun folk music, resulting in an album titled known as Mihumisang.
The Bunun Cultural and Educational Foundation, created in the year 1995, was
the initial organization formed to support popularized and stand Taiwanese
aboriginal culture.
