Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups together celebrate cultural day
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Hanoi People`s Committee opened the art programme to welcome the Cultural Day of Vietnamese ethnic groups (April 19) at the Culture-Tourism Village of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups in Son Tay town in Hanoi on April 16.
State President Tran Dai Quang attended an opening ceremony.
Addressing the event, the State President said that from 2009, the Government declared April 19 as the annual cultural day of 54 ethnic groups with the aim to honour their cultural values and strengthen the great national unity, and promote patriotism.
President Quang also emphasised the need to continuously implement effectively the Resolution approved at the 9th session of the 11th Party Central Committee on the building and development of the Vietnamese culture and people to meet the country’s sustainable development requirements, as well as the cultural development strategy by 2020.
It is necessary to increase the public cultural enjoyment, especially in the rural, ethnic minority, remote, border and island regions, and integrate cultural preservation with sustainable development of economics and tourism, Quang noted.
The State leader urged to step up preserving, promoting cultural diversities and building new cultural values while expanding international exchanges.
Following the opening ceremony was an art programme featuring the unique culture of 54 ethnic groups across the northern mountainous region, northern delta, central region, Central Highlands, and southern delta
Nearly 120 village patriarchs and artisans from various ethnic groups are engaging in cultural activities.
Various art forms are highlighted such as Luon Coi singing of Tay, Nung ethnic groups, H’Mong panpipe and umbrella dancing, and Kho Mu folk music, along with “xam” singing – a genre of music once popular in the north of Vietnam, “cheo” (Vietnamese traditional opera), and “quan ho” (love duet), “chau van” (spiritual singing), Central Highlands’ gong performance, and “don ca tai tu” (amateur singing) of southern people.
In addition, participants have a chance to join in folk games and enjoy food from different regions at the Culture and Tourism Village of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups from April 15-19.
