This research on the musical culture of the Urak Lawoi Sea Gypsies in Bulon archipelago, Satun Province is considered anthropological research. The research objectives were to study the history and information culture of and also to find the basis of information for the restoration and preservation of the musical culture of Urak Lawoi Sea Gypsies who live in the Bulon archipelago. The research findings are as follows:
1. The music of the Urak Lawoi Sea Gypsies in the Bulon archipelago is still traditional music. There are various kind of songs which can play a complete melody and rhythm, including a total of eight songs as follows: Lagu-ayamdide, Lagusitipayong, Lagubulongpute, Laguchemamat, Laguduwo, Laguma-ie-nang, Lagumana-ikan.
2. The roles of culture and music in the Bulon archipelago correlate with Urak Lawoi society. They use music in the ceremony of votive offering, in the Floating ceremony held on Koh Lipe and in various festivals. Therefore music is a spiritual sacrifice and a spiritual instrument that conveys the spirit of the Urak Lawoi, and which makes the Urak Lawoi still unique, with a sense of ethnic identity.
3. The inheritance of Urak Lawoi music is still made the traditional way, as an oral tradition with no record. The teaching and learning must be one-on-one, and it requires a considerable length of time to practice and accumulate the knowledge. Given these reasons, only a few people are interested in inheriting the tradition. Furthermore, those who are interested may not be able to practice constantly. As a result, the inheritors are only few, and may become none at all.
