Taiwanese aboriginal dance performance in Paris

Henri, Mimi's father, sent me two photos from his watching a Taiwanese aboriginal dance performance by the Amis Kakeng Musical Group at Centre Culturel de Taiwan a Paris.

Amis is the largest indigenous tribe in Taiwan (11 tribes in total). Wearing the traditional Amis clothing, the troupe performed rousing traditional Amis songs using the kakeng (a percussion instrument made of bamboo) and other traditional Amis instruments, including bamboo nose flutes.
