Although Portugal's 130 rule of Melaka was followed by Dutch and then British rule during Malaysia's colonial period, descendants of those Portuguese have managed to preserve a culture and identity for more than 500 years with little contact with Portugal before the modern era. In this book, a noted ethnomusicologist seeks to determine the origins of the Music and dance. The results reveal a wide selection of influences that have been melded to form this distinctive culture. 219 pages. For further details, please see the scanned contents page.
