Abstract

The Eight-tone Band (also called Matang Drum Band) of Matang village, Renhua county in Shaoguan city, Guangdong province is an active local eight-tone club. It has been providing the villagers with performance for happy occasions and funeral affairs since the 60s except during the Cultural Revolution. Their music can be divided to music for happy occasions and for funeral affairs, the former being joyous and cheerful and the latter sad and low-pitched. But with the development of the society, the Eight-tone Band is also changing.
