Traditional music in Malaysia is associated with traditional theatre forms such as, 'kuda kepang' (horse trance dance), 'gendang kling' (instrumental ensemble), among other forms of entertainment. This type of music is based on either the 5-tone or 7-tone scales. It is performed mainly by a range of ensembles including wind instruments, bronze percussive instruments such as gongs and a wide range of drums.
