Bringing vi giam singing into schools would help preserve the art, Prof
Tran Quang Hai from the French National Centre for Scientific Research
said at an international conference held recently in Vinh, Nghe An
Province.
A performance of xam (strolling blind minstrel
singing) was held on Wednesday in the northern province of Ninh Binh as
part of the Traditional Xam Preservation and Promotion Project.
Traditional folk music recordings by singers like
Cam Ly, Thanh Thuy and Uyen Trang have climbed to the top of the charts
on HCM City Radio''s FM Channel only a few weeks after airing.
