Bunun

BununThe Bunun are a Taiwanese aborigine tribe, known for their sophisticated polyphonic vocal music. They speak Bunun language and are widely dispersed across the island, unlike the other aboriginal tribes in Taiwan. They have 5 distinct sub-tribes, the Takbunuaz, the Takibaka, the Isbukun, the Takivatan, and the Takituduh. Present day Bunun still live in village units, but unfortunately many of the younger generations are drawn to the big cities searching for jobs.
