Its folk music consists of vocals (singing) accompanied by traditional drums, gong and other native percussion instruments.
It is difficult to trace the origin and to arrange the chronological sequences of the heritage of Mizo Music.
[1] In precolonial times, the Mizos used the drum, gong and mouth organ made of gourd and bamboo as musical instruments.
Even though we cannot date the origin, the "Mizo of Kabaw Valley during late 10th to 13th century AD had developed their music as nearly as they have done today".
[6] The Mizo have six varieties of wind instruments such as Rawchhem, Tumphit, Mautawtawrawl, Phenglawng, Buhchangkuang, Hnahtum.
