Review about the Current Situation of H’rê People’s Music at Different Locations in Quảng Ngãi Province, Vietnam.

Segmenting H’rê music regions in the mountains of Quảng Ngãi is very difficult. In reality, the differences in music practices between the H’rê people and the H’rê regional dialects are unclear, as well as the problem of cross-cultural relationships in music taking place with neighboring ethnic groups. However, some scholarly approaches (Tô Ngọc Thanh, 1995; Lê Huy and Minh Hiến, 1994) still boldly segment the H’rê music with the desire to provide some scientific information about a cultural phenomenon of the H’rê people in a specific location. The article divides H’rê music practices in Quảng Ngãi into two relatively different regions: the center region and the suburban region. In particular, the center region includes the districts of Sơn Hà, Ba Tơ and Minh Long; The suburban region includes places that preserve, promote, reconcile music practices that are at risk of disappearance. In addition, the article also highlights the different elements of H’rê music practices in different regions of Quảng Ngãi province.
