It sounds a little bit like Arabic music lol. Are those people real Cham people? The name of their dance group is Paturanka, it sounds very non-Vietnamese.

From google, it looks like Paturanka is the name of some land. Where is it?

Are they Cham singers? Because they sound weird when they sing the Vietnamese part.

Yes some Malaysian, Indonesian dances are similar to Chams dance. I think "Paturanka" is a Sankrit word. No idea about the meaning. Try the India chat.

Does their music sound like Muslim music too?
