而如今“八音坐唱”的八音则是指萧筒、牛骨胡、葫芦琴、月琴、刺鼓、包包锣、小马锣、钗等器乐组合的名称。

Nowadays, the "Eight-Tone" of the "Eight-Tone Sitting Singing" contain Straight Flute, Cattle Bone Fiddle, Huluqin, Yueqin, Spiked Drums, Baobaoluo, Xiaomaluo, and Cha.

随着历史的发展，布依八音表演也加入勒尤、木叶等布依族乐器进行伴奏。

With the development of history, the "Eight-Tone" performance of the Bouyei also selected some Bouyei instruments like Leyou and Muye for accompaniment.

八音之韵

八音乐师会以八人分别持有八种不同的乐器进行围圈、轮递的方式进行说唱，他们常常以第一次人称歌唱来叙述故事，再以第三人称歌唱来解说故事。

The musicians of the "Eight-Tone" need sit in a circle with eight different instruments and sing alternately. They often tell the story by singing in the first person, and explain in the third person.

布依族没有文字，而八音坐唱则是纯音乐乐曲发展为表演唱、八音坐唱，以及后来延展出的布依戏曲，颇有一种“四乐同堂”的味道。

The Bouyei people have no writing language, and the form of the "Eight-Tone Sitting Singing" has been developed from pure music to sing performance. The "Eight-Tone Sitting Singing" and the other Bouyei operas, which were born based on it, has been regarded as the "Bouyei Music Family".

演唱过程之中，八音乐师都可据曲调、据物生词，表演时即兴发挥，用说唱形式表达身边之人、身边之事。

In the singing process, musicians can create lyrics based on the tunes and surrounding things. They perform in freestyle and tell the stories by talking and singing.

八音乐队乐器众多，而八音的演奏形式则是合奏。依照如今留存下来的古曲谱与现在民间流传的表演形式可以看出其"合乐"的特点。

There are many instruments in the "Eight-Tone Sitting Singing", and the performing form of it is ensemble, which has been showed according to the existing ancient music scores and current performing melodies.

旋律古朴、曲调流畅、唱腔优美、乐声悦耳的布依八音，现在则多在节日、婚丧、建房、祝寿等各类场合，已然是深受布依族人民喜爱的艺术形式。

The "Eight-Tone Sitting Singing" of the Bouyei, which is simple, smooth, beautiful, and pleasant, has been performing in various occasions in the daily life of the Bouyei people. It's very popular in the Bouyei settlements.
