Then singing seeks UNESCO’s recognition

(Cinet) – Some affords to turn Then singing into a list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity has been hastened to honour the form of the arts.

Then singing is a unique combination of music and song and traditionally accompanied by a handmade gourd lute, called Dan Tinh or Tinh Tau. It is closely linked with the spiritual life of some ethnic people, who perform it during rituals to pray for good health, a bumper crop and a long life.

Then singing festivals have been held in several northern provinces in recent times to widely promote the form to the public. Meanwhile, conferences calling for more support from international cultural experts for the recognition are scheduled to be organised in the coming time.

Then singing is a distinctive musical genre and a special combination of the spiritual and cultural life of the Tay, Nung and Thai ethnic groups in Vietnam.
