A workshop discussing how to preserve and develop the musical genre “Don ca tai tu” took place in the southern province of Bac Lieu on April 27, bringing together a crowd of scholars and researchers operating in the field.

Over 200 images, artefacts, books and newspaper stories on the formation and development of “Don ca tai tu”, Vietnam’s latest piece of world intangible cultural heritage, are being offered to the public at the Museum of the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho.

The Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu will host a national festival featuring the UNESCO-recognised performing art of Don ca tai tu from April 20 to 25, the Saigon Times Daily reported, adding that there will be 21 art troupes from 21 southern provinces taking part in the event.

The first national festival of “Don ca tai tu”, the musical art that UNESCO recognised as an intangible cultural heritage, will take place in the southern province of Bac Lieu from April 20-25.

The Mekong delta province of Tra Vinh launched a “don ca tai tu” (amateur singing) festival for local people on December 23-24 to honour the art, which was recognised as a piece of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.

An impromptu art performance showing off the creativeness and artistry of the performers - the art of Don ca tai tu's music and songs in southern Vietnam - has earned an honor as a piece of the world’s intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

Three talented musicians from across the globe will entertain a capital city audience tonight when they hit the stage for the H-Artistry concert.
