Cantopop (pronounced Can-toh-pop) is a fun type of music. It's short for "Cantonese popular music." People also call it HK-pop, which means "Hong Kong popular music." It's a big part of Chinese music, especially within a larger group called C-pop. Cantopop mixes sounds from traditional Chinese music with popular styles from around the world. Almost all Cantopop songs are sung in the Cantonese language. This music is loved by many fans, especially in places like Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. It's also very popular in the Guangdong province of mainland China. But Hong Kong is definitely the most important place for Cantopop music.
