Naamyam (Chinese: 南音; Jyutping: naam4 jam1; pinyin: nányīn) is a unique local narrative singing tradition in Cantonese, which is different from the nanyin (ornanguan) tradition originating from Southern Fujian. A singer would be engaged for a single performance or for regular performances over an extended period of time. Famous naamyam singers included Chung Tak (1860–1929), Dou Wun (杜焕; 1910–1979), Yuen Siu-fai and Au Kwan-cheung.
