The traditional [[music of Vanuatu]] is still present in the rural areas of Vanuatu.<ref>See the CD "Music of Vanuatu: Celebrations and mysteries", and its e-book ([[#cd-music|François & Stern 2013]]).</ref> Musical instruments consist mostly of [[idiophone]]s: drums of various shapes and sizes, [[slit gong]]s, [[Bamboo musical instruments|stamping tubes]], and [[Rattle (percussion instrument)|rattle]]s, among others. Another musical genre that has become widely popular during the 20th century in all areas of Vanuatu is known as ''[[string band]]'' music. It combines guitars, [[ukulele|ukuleles]], and popular songs.

More recently, the music of Vanuatu, as an industry, grew rapidly in the 1990s, and several bands have emerged with a Ni-Vanuatu identity.<ref>{{Cite book| publisher = Adem| volume = 20| pages = 165–190| last = Stern| first = Monika| title = Identités musicales| chapter = Les identités musicales multiples au Vanuatu| location = Genève| series = Cahiers d'ethnomusicologie| contribution-url = https://journals.openedition.org/ethnomusicologie/268| date = 2007| access-date = 17 March 2021| archive-date = 6 August 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210806035819/https://journals.openedition.org/ethnomusicologie/268| url-status = live}}.</ref> Popular genres of modern commercial music include [[Zouk (musical movement)|zouk]] music and [[reggaeton]].
