Both terms express something of the nature of this music: it is chamber music performed by artists of great talent (first meaning) and not for profit (second meaning). It was born in southern Vietnam at the beginning of the twentieth century. Its relation to the music of Hué̂ can be heard in some ca hué̂ songs and nhạc tài tử instrumental pieces)
