Blessed with its unique environmental situations, it has developed abundant cultural characteristic. In addition to Stone-board House, it has a high cultural value in history, article and music.
Fieldwork of this thesis was conducted after Kucapungane moved to Rinari. The fieldwork not only collected songs, but also observed the situation of cultural preservation about music after the migration of Kucapungane. Through these songs, we are able to understand the original forms of lives, politics and societies in Kucapungane. Moreover, by recording tribesmen’s conditions of adaptation and memories after migration, analyzing the connection between songs and their emotions becomes possible.

Chapter III probes how Kucapungane tribesmen recognize “Music” and discusses the way to classify songs from researchers and tribesmen’s view. Chapter IV records different kinds of songs, including normal songs and some behaviors with musical elements like “tubi” and “wacapi” ceremony. Chapter V focused on the emotions of music. Singing songs is not individual behavior. It is always connected with everyone in the village.
