The Proto-Indochinese (or Montagnard) Mnong people are Vietnam’s original inhabitants, who where gradually pushed back to the remote mountains by the expansionism of the Viet (Kinh) people from Tonkin and Annam.

The Mnong interact with invisible entities to achieve a world of balance, particularly during the celebration of the new rice harvest when offerings and buffalo sacrifices are made to the Mother of Rice and various other deities to ensure an abundant crop.

These recordings from villages in Central Vietnam showcase various gongs, drums, mouth harps and zithers, some of which produce riveting trance-inducing “muddy” quasi-electronic sound textures.

Les Mnong, assimilés aux Proto-Indochinois (ou Montagnards), sont les premiers habitants du Vietnam. Il furent au cours des siècles progressivement repoussés vers des zones de montagne reculées devant l'expansionnisme des Viet (Kinh) venus du Tonkin et de l'Annam.

Les Mnong communiquent avec des entités invisibles dans le but de maintenir un monde d'équilibre écologique et cosmique, en particulier lors de la célébration de la nouvelle récolte du riz au cours de laquelle des offrandes et des sacrifices de buffles ritualisés sont faits à l'attention des puissances célestes (la Mère du Riz, la Pluie, l’Eléphant, etc.) pour assurer une récolte abondante.

Ces enregistrements réalisés dans des villages situés au centre du Vietnam présentent divers gongs, tambours, et cithares, dont certains produisent des textures sonores distordues, quasi-électroniques et 
rythmées menant à la transe collective.

  3. Tôi là người đến từ đất nước việt nam, và là người M'NÔNG GAR, thế hệ của chúng tôi sau này chúng tôi cũng ít nhiều bị mai một về văn hóa cuội nguồn, những người thế hệ trước chúng tôi giờ không còn sống nhiều, hầu như chúng tôi chỉ được nghe qua lời kể mà không có gì bảo lưu lại, nên khi họ mất dần đi thì thế hệ chúng tôi không được hiểu căn kẽ về cuội nguồn chúng tôi. Cám ơn bạn về đã lưu giữ lại những tư liệu về dân tộc tôi,để hôm nay tôi được tiếp cận nó.

      Google translation of the comment in Vietnamese:
      I am a person from Vietnam, and a M'NONG GAR, our generation in the future will also be more or less lost in the culture of our origin, the people of the previous generation are not alive Most of us, we only heard through stories without any reservation, so when they died away, our generation did not have a thorough understanding of our origins. Thank you for preserving the documents about my people, so that I can access it today.
