The show also involves \u201cCh\u00e8o\u201d singing and the appearance of other traditional musical instruments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vietnamese people invented this art form just to entertain after hard working days. Hence, the performers are no one else but the farmers themselves. Performing wholeheartedly with their passion and love, these people have made up an excellent show that could draw in the attention of every audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traditionally, water puppet show would occur in the middle of the rice paddies or the village\u2019s lake. There always has a small pavilion amidst the water. This is where the performers hide when playing the puppet dance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nowadays, travelers could enjoy this show at Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre nearby Hoan Kiem Lake when taking Vietnam tours to Hanoi.

It is a romantic performing art with a tradition dating back to the 13th century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This folk music is a cultural activity where people from different villages and areas gather and share their passion for music. It is also a chance to meet new friends and strengthen the community\u2019s union.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During a Quan Ho show, there will be two groups of performers standing on two dragon boats: one for women and one for men. The singers would sing and respond to each other by using the same melodies to express different lyrics. Throughout the show, it looks like an intimate chat between girls and boys. It might be prepared in advance, or just a freestyle right during the performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe width=\"640\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9XJWnhwlNZQ?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are about 400 song lyrics with more than 200 different melodies. The lyrics tend to express the feeling of couples, who have to break up involuntarily. It displays the sadness of lovers after separation and their happiness when meeting each other again. It has hence formed a custom that male and female singers in one performance cannot marry each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quan Ho plays a significant role in the spiritual life of Kinh Bac people. People perform it during special occasions like rituals, festivals, competitions, and private gatherings also. After times, this genre is still a popular cultural activity of northern people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are now 49 heritage villages that well retain the tradition of Quan Ho singing.

It involves singing, drumming, dancing, and clapper beating. There need to be 10 to 15 practitioners to deliver a complete show of Xoan Singing, including \u201ctr\u00f9m\u201d \u2013 the male instrumentalists and \u201ck\u00e9p\u201d \u2013 the female singers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Xoan Singing serves 03 different purposes: to honor Hung Kings and the local deities; to wish for good crops, health, and luck; and to entertain during festivals. This traditional music is played in spiritual events in communal houses, temples, and shrines. Especially, it is an inevitable part of Hung King Festival \u2013 a significant Vietnamese national holiday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With its indispensable cultural values, in 2017, UNESCO designated <a href=\"https:\/\/ich.unesco.org\/en\/RL\/xoan-singing-of-phu-tho-province-viet-nam-01260\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Xoan Singing<\/a> as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The two male instrumentalists would play the 3-string lute and praise drum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People often say Ca Tru is the Vietnamese version of Geisha. This traditional art form used to be performed to entertain the wealthy, mandarin, or the royal court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to the lack of practice and improvisation, Ca Tru gradually loses its prime position in Vietnamese culture. There appear to be fewer and fewer practitioners who really love and have the ability to perform it perfectly Since the 20th century, this unique traditional art has been almost extinct in society. Nowadays, the practitioners have made their every attempt to teach new generations the old repertoire. However, it is still at risk of disappearance due to the decreasing number of followers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UNESCO listed Ca Tru as a World Intangible Heritage that needs urgent protection and safeguarding in 2009.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Nha_Nhac_%E2%80%93_Royal_Court_Music_in_Hue\"><\/span>5.

It is a great way to get to know more about the culture of the local tribal people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gongs and Gong music are closely tied to the rituals and ceremonies of local ethnic people all over the 5 provinces of Central Highlands. When people from different ethnicities do not share the same language and customs, Gong music helps to connect them into a large united community. Gongs are the must-have item in any musical performance or events of ethnic people in this land. They always go in a set, which often consists of up to 20 items of different shapes and sizes. The locals believe that gongs are the language that connects human-beings and the supernatural world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gong music is common in some important occasions namely the Gong Festival (annually), the Elephant Race Festival in Don Village (in March of the odd year), and the Spring Festivals (from January to March in every village). If you are taking a Vietnam heritage tour to Central Highlands, you can also participate in the campfire at the Communal House of the village. The locals tend to perform Gong music and invite tube wine as a way to warmly welcome their guests.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_A_O_Show_%E2%80%93_A_demonstration_of_Vietnam_during_urbanization\"><\/span>8. \u00c0 \u1ed0 Show \u2013 A demonstration of Vietnam during urbanization.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6619\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6619\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6619\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/a-o-show-Art-Performances-For-Vietnam-Cultural-Tours-e1564541164743.jpg\" alt=\"Art Performances For Vietnam Cultural Tours\" width=\"750\" height=\"527\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Lux Travel DMC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A O Show is one of the 04 key spectacles of Lune Production that have received huge appreciation worldwide.

A O Show consists of bamboo circus, contemporary dance, music, and other additional artistic elements. These things altogether well depict the change in the daily life of Vietnamese people when the country turns from a rural agricultural country to a developing nation like today. The thing that makes A O Show different from other spectacles is that all the props are made from bamboo, which is closely tied to Vietnamese countryside. This tree stands for the strength, determination, and resilience of the local people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A O Show has toured the world since 2015 with an aim to bringing Vietnam closer to foreigners.
