Answer (in English?):
Malaysian music have a hint of their tradition and culture. They can have religious music, or songs that tell a story or an old folk tale. They also utilize their own instruments.
Explanation:
I may be incorrect since you also asked to include syncretic Malaysian music. If you're asking to point out the difference, syncretic music includes bits of traditional and western (or other foreign) musical elements, while classical/folk songs are more on the traditional side (due to how many of them were created before colonization). You can also say that Malaysian music (in general) is fairly similar to other Southeast Asian music. You can compare it with Indonesian, Cambodian, or even music from Mindanao.
