The Mlabri people make musical instruments to use when they have
free time. They may use a blower leaf as a song or take a piece of
bamboo and use it as a drum by hitting a rhythm. However, the blower
leaf or the drum is not hit much unless they are sure that the area is
far away enough from other people so that they aren’t disturbed. They
didn’t teach their lineage, so they can not play, but they will play
Hmong’s musical instruments such as reed mouth organ, guitar etc.
