Xoan Singing - The Sacred Melodies of the Ancestral Land

[admin]

In the serene atmosphere of the village communal house, the melodious tunes of Xoan Singing resonate, transporting listeners back to their ethnic roots. Xoan Singing is a unique traditional art form from Phu Tho, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
 

Each Xoan Singing performance consists of four parts: the ceremonial singing, the ‘quả cách’ (ritual songs), the festival songs, and the blessings songs. Performers, dressed in traditional attire, present the graceful Xoan melodies, combined with traditional dances and folk games. The lyrics reflect profound life philosophies and praise the love for homeland and country.

Xoan Singing is not just a form of entertainment but also a bond that connects the community, preserving and promoting the valuable traditional cultural heritage of the Vietnamese people.
