A festival of Xam singing, or singing by blind buskers, has been held in the northern province of Ninh Binh, to promote and preserve the intangible heritage and local cultural values and contribute to the recovery of domestic tourism post-pandemic.
The very first album featuring xam (music of blind buskers) has been released in an effort of Mai Tuyet Hoa and her team to revive the traditional music.
"Tu he duong den san khau" (From Street to Stage), a special programme of xam (blind buskers singing) performances has recently taken place in Hanoi to celebrate Viet Nam Cultural Heritage Day.
