One-night show to feature traditional music from 54 ethnic groups 

The fourth Huong sac Viet Nam (Vietnam’s scent and beauty) will take place in Hanoi on Sept 10 to promote the country’s traditional, folk music and other “specialties” in art and culture.

 

The one-night show will feature traditional music of 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam as well as world cultural heritages, including gongs performance in central highlands and ca tru (an ancient genre of chamber music in the north).

 

According to artist Xuan Binh, Vietnam Song Dance and Music Theater’s head of the department of traditional, folk performance, the show will bring audiences into a journey to discover all culture and arts of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups.

 

In addition, artists from Vietnam Song Dance and Music Theater will also introduce new dances and compositions played by traditional musical instruments as well as familiar melodies.

 

Huong sac Viet Nam is performed by artists from Vietnam Song Dance and Music Theater. Since 2010, it is an annual art project of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which aims to preserve and introduce Vietnam’s diverse culture to the world.

 

The performance will take place at Au Co Art Center in Hanoi.
